SIMplus
Retrievable bridge plug
Fully certified grade V3 plugs provide a debris-tolerant retrievable barrier with no nipple profile needed.
FloWell production enhancement technology
Dynamic underbalance system improves productivity and recovers injectivity
Overview
Targeted dynamic underbalance
FloWell™ production enhancement technology improves production by creating underbalance in a specific section of a completion string using slickline deployment.
FloWell technology is part of the SIM™ sealing integrity management system. The SIM system is a set of modules that can be easily swapped out to help manage well integrity and production in various ways.
Applications
- Removes formation damage debris in perforation tunnels
- Recovers productivity in production wells
- Restores injectivity in injection wells
Benefits
Low cost
Economical means of improving productivity
Customizable components
Modular design for treating any zone length
Versatility
Easily field-redressable technology for remote locations
100% mechanical operation
No pyrotechnics or electronics required
Features
- Uses standard slickline tools and running procedures
- Passes through standard completion restrictions
- Facilitates recovery with standard fishing neck design
- Performs in high temperatures up to 350 degF [177 degC]
How It Works
Versatile system to boost production and restore injectivity
The SIM system uses reliable SIMstandard™ and SIMplus™ retrievable bridge plugs to isolate a specific area, then FloWell technology can be activated. The technology also can work alone without SIM plugs to create underbalance in narrow completions or other uses.
The modular design of FloWell technology enables flexibility and treats various lengths of sandface. The packer isolation alleviates any chance of unwanted stimulation in zones of no interest.
FloWell production enhancement technology generates a dynamic underbalance to boost production and restore injectivity.
