TorcPlug

Multi-set retrievable barrier qualified bridge plug

The TorcPlug is based on a bolt and nut principle where all the components are placed in conjunction with a threaded shaft that runs through the plug. When the shaft is rotated in one direction, it retracts the core mandrel and compresses the outer components. When it rotates in the other direction, all of those components are mechanically retracted. By application of rotation and torque provided by the EMT, the TorcPlug setting process is monitored and controlled, ensuring that the applicable setting and retraction forces are being applied.

With regards to equalization, the TorcPlug incorporates a redundant valve feature that is operated on a secondary shaft. The EMT can change gear positions in order to turn this valve shaft independently from the plug setting/retrieval feature. This allows for independent equalization through the center of the TorcPlug on the same run, prior to releasing it. After the TorcPlug has been equalized and released the valve can be put back into closed position.

This design allows the TorcPlug to be operated multiple times, allowing the operator to make use of the TorcPlug for several applications in a single run.

Key Features and Benefits:

Single run, multi-set and retrive
Mill to release design
Independent equailization feature
Adjustable setting force
Real time setting force data response

Hold on the outer body and operate the TorcPlug by applying rotation to the two shafts independent shafts.

Secure soft set with centralization and packer protection with the Anti Extrusion Device.

Bi directional mechanically retracted slips.

Efficient Plug & Perf Solution

Our technology streamlines plug and abandonment (P&A), workover, and slot recovery by combining acoustic communication, perforation, and barrier technologies into a rig-less verification system.

In a single operation, multiple zones can be perforated, isolated, and tested, confirming annular integrity in real-time. Deployable offline via wireline or coiled tubing, this solution reduces rig time and lowers operational costs.

Key features:

Comes in range of sizes, from TP-360-M 4 1/2" to TP-800-M for 9 5/8" tubulars.

Several combinations of applications can be achieved:

Pressure and Temperature below and above plug
Fire guns below plug
Draw down pressure below set plug
Discharge fluid through set plug
Activate tools below plug
and many more.

FAQ

What is the TorcPlug and what is its basic operating principle?

The TorcPlug is a multi-set, retrievable, barrier-qualified bridge plug based on a bolt-and-nut principle. Rotating the threaded shaft in one direction compresses the outer components for setting, while rotation in the opposite direction mechanically retracts all components.

How is equalization performed before releasing the TorcPlug?

The TorcPlug includes a redundant valve operated on a secondary shaft. By changing gear positions, the Electric Manipulation Tool (EMT) can turn this valve shaft independently from the plug setting and retrieval function, enabling equalization through the plug prior to release.

What operational flexibility does TorcPlug provide?

TorcPlug is designed for single-run, multi-set operations with adjustable setting force and real-time setting force data response. It is available in multiple sizes and supports applications such as pressure and temperature testing, pressure drawdown, fluid discharge, and activation of tools below the plug.
