The SIMplus™ retrievable bridge plug incorporates high-performance downhole seal technology. Creating a reliable seal in production tubing requires well barrier solutions that conform to exacting specifications. This plug is part of a range of fully certified ISO 14310:2008 and API Specification 11D1 V3-rated well barrier and flow control solutions from SLB designed to handle the most challenging downhole conditions. The SIMplus retrievable bridge plug has been fully qualified to a V3 rating, confirming its ability to maintain well integrity at up to 7,500 psi and 300 degF.

The plug provides a barrier anywhere in the production tubing, without the need for a nipple profile. It can be deployed using any conventional conveyance method. Its unique ability to be set mechanically provides unrivalled operational flexibility and reliability. The SIMplus plug is suitable for standard tubing sizes, ranging from 2 7/8 to 9 5/8 inches. The plug’s large internal diameter also makes its sealing system ideal for modular straddle applications by minimizing the flow restriction.

When used as a flow control device, the SIMplus plug offers flexibility for plugging and diversion, enabling both unidirectional and bidirectional flow.

Its simple, versatile design has shown proven reliability in the field. And its wide range of interchangeable options meet the most challenging flow control applications. The plug can be easily redressed in the field, reducing the potential downtime caused by returning equipment onshore after each run. Independently verified and certified by DNV, this mechanically set, V3-rated bridge plug is truly in a class of its own.
