BluePlug Max CMR

High-pressure wireline- or tubing-set cement retainer

Rated up to 10,000 psi [69 MPa]

Rated up to 300 degF [149 degC]

Validated to ISO 14310 and API Spec 11D1 V3

Bidirectional barrier for remedial work and well abandonment

BluePlug Max CMR high-pressure wireline- or tubing-set cement retainer is run in cased hole wells to create an effective well barrier, enabling well abandonment or remedial cement injection below the retainer and helping ensure accurate cement placement.

To improve reliability, an internal sliding valve provides pressure integrity from above and below, enabling you to perform a positive pressure test before engaging a stinger and pumping cement.

Reduce risks with validated designs

Based on field-proven designs, the BluePlug Max CMR cement retainer reduces the risk of premature setting and provides reliable isolation with added features—such as the antipreset slips and sliding valve—and ISO 14310 and API Specification 11D1 V3 validation. The compact, modular, cast iron construction reduces drillout times and enhances lifetime stability. In addition, the single-trip setting tool reduces time, risk, and cost. Versatile setting methods further simplify installation.

The cement retainer is available in quality grades Q1, Q2, and Q3.

Simplify your planning and optimize operations

The modular architecture of our BluePlug Max CMR cement retainers simplifies engineering designs across the entire family. You can select the cement retainer best suited to your well environment while configuring certain components and subassemblies based on the specific challenges of your well. For example, you can customize the elastomer based on the chemical properties of your well fluids.

This standardization not only reduces lead times and costs, it enhances efficiency by enabling personnel to use a uniform deployment methodology. A simple kit enables field conversion of the cement retainer into a BluePlug Max P high-pressure permanent wireline- or tubing-set bridge plug.
