Multi/Single-set retrievable bridge plug
The VALI™ Medium-Expansion Plug is a retrievable bridge plug designed for wireline, slickline, or coiled tubing deployment. With a compact running OD of 3.65-in., VALI provides reliable setting and sealing in 4.5-in. casing across a wide range of applications, including leak detection, barrier placement, and plug and abandonment (P&A) operations.
The VALI series includes
Rated to 7,500 psi / 150°C and available in ISO 14310 V3/V6 configurations, the plug delivers gas-tight isolation in challenging well conditions. Its multiset capability enables multiple set/unset cycles per run, reducing the need for repeat interventions and enabling precise plug positioning.
VALI integrates wireless communication for real-time monitoring of pressure and temperature below the bridge plug and includes a debris-protected release system for reliable retrieval in challenging wellbore conditions.
