First in-field deployment of TORDEN™ High-Expansion Retrievable Bridge Plug
Standard configuration via slickline in 4.5” 12.6# tubing
Deployed, set, pressure tested and retrieved at depth of 9,190 ft MD
Two pressure tests at 3,000 psi over 15-minute cycles, meeting state-mandated criteria
Welltec® successfully completed the debut deployment of its TORDEN™ High-Expansion Retrievable Bridge Plug on Alaska’s North Slope. Deployed via slickline to 9,190 ft, the plug was set using the Welltec® Electrical Setting Tool (WEST), passed multiple pressure tests, and was successfully retrieved. The operation demonstrated the technology’s reliability and led to an additional well opportunity, supporting the client's regulatory compliance requirements for pre-sidetrack pressure testing.
