High-performance setting and retrieval for a wide range of sizes and systems

The SIMplus bridge plug can be mechanically set at any chosen depth within the completion tubing or liner without the need for a nipple profile. 

Available in all industry sizes from 2⅞ in to 9⅝ in, it can be deployed by all conventional conveyance methods including slickline, e-line, coiled tubing, drillpipe, and tractor. Additionally, it has multiple equalizing assembly options to suit well and operational conditions, including melon-, prong-, or pump open-type systems.

The SIMplus plug can be recovered using a conventional pulling tool on any conveyance method.

It is simple to redress in the field, minimizing asset requirements and NPT and providing greater operational flexibility.
