Retrievable Inflatable Bridge Plug (RIBP)
The Retrievable Inflatable Bridge Plug (RIBP) is a field proven high expansion, temporary wellbore isolation device. Designed to seal below restrictions and/or in irregular setting profiles, this jointed pipe deployed maximizes field site operational efficiency.
Applications:
You can use wireline deployed downhole pumps to inflate our packers, we have a track record of deploying our RIBPs on wireline. The RIBP can be retrieved on slackline using industry standard pulling tools.
Inflatable Packers don’t require a separate anchor mechanism such as slips. The anchoring force is provided by the friction between the packer element and the wellbore wall. Moreover, most of our packer elements have a DuraGripTM cover to provide a metal-to-metal contact and increased friction.
