Paragon II Retrievable Bridge Plugs

Paragon II Retrievable Bridge Plug

The Paragon II Retrievable Bridge Plug (RBP) is based off any version of the Paragon Retrievable Tubing Packers including; Standard, High Pressure and Medium Expansion versions. It utilizes a sleeve-type equalization valve assembly which is attached to the lower end of the packer. The sleeve valve is run in the well normally closed. Upon retrieval of the RBP the sleeve valve is opened to allow pressure to equalize across the RBP prior to retrieval attempts thus preventing the RBP from being inadvertently blown up or down in the well due to pressure differentials across the set RBP when retrieving with wireline. The valve is opened by applying downward forces or jarring action to the top of the sleeve valve. This is normally accomplished through the additions of a rod assembly attached to the lower end of the packer pulling tool where downward jarring action shifts the sleeve from the closed position to the open position. Once pressure across the RBP is equalized normal retrieval is commenced using up strain or upward jarring action. The Paragon RBP is offered in versions consistent with API 11D1 V5, V3 and V0 rating of up to 7500 psi at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Features/Benefits

• Complies with API 11D1 specifications
• One-trip installation, one-trip retrieval
• Jar down to equalize and pull up to release
• Modular Gage Rings allow for optimizing annular seal gap
• Bi-directional slip design located below the packing system provides increased retrievability
• Capable of setting in corrosion-resistant alloys and high tensile tubulars
• Standard external fishing neck for reliable latching
• Pressure Equalizing Valve opens after Pulling Tool is latched
• Release mechanism is not affected by differential pressures allowing reduced release force to aid wireline retrieving
• Straight pull to release
• During retrieval, tool is locked in the released position allowing the ability to work up and down during retrieval without re-engaging slips

Applications

• Temporary abandonment
