Peak Well ServicesSIM Retrievable Bridge Plug Applications

In its simplest form the SIM Lock can be used as a carrier for downhole

tools. In such applications it maybe used for carrying pressure / temperature

gauges .

The advantage of the SIM Lock in all cases is that it allows the tool being conveyed by the SIM Lock to be placed as close as is desired to the area for pin-

point data acquisition.

SIM Plug & Prong

When the SIM Lock is fitted with an elastomeric

element and run with a prong it will then act as a bi-

directional plug.

Applications include:

Collision Barrier during drilling operationsWellhead isolation Zonal

Isolation for water shut off Zonal

Isolation to prevent cross flow / co-mingling Packer Setting & tubing tests during completions Tubing Integrity testing

SIM Plug & Melon When the SIM Lock is fitted with an elastomeric

element and run with a Melon Type Equalising assembly it will then act as a bi-directional plug and is a “one-run-to-set”

/ “two-runs-to-pull”

system.

Isolation for water shut off Zonal

Isolation to prevent cross flow / co-mingling Packer Setting & tubing tests during completions Tubing Integrity testing

SIM System –

Melon type Equalising

Assembly

The SIM Lock body when set, is able to receive an independently recoverable Downhole

Choke thus allowing the SIM Lock to be used to choke back well fluids as desired. The SIM Lock system has a unique arrangement where the downhole

choke can be recovered to surface without recovering the plug body. This means the choke can be recovered and re-sized to meet flow requirements without the added runs required to pull and re-set a plug –

reducing further runs / time & also removing plug redress cost.

Control oil or gas flow between two or more sands to

control cross flow and improve overall reservoir

performance

To control gas flow from a gas reservoir below an existing oil reservoir and provide natural gas lift

To control fluid flow from differing reservoirs to give a

controlled fluid mix from the well, for example to balance gas dilutions between high and low CO2 content gases

SIM Choke

Recoverable Downhole

Choke

Oil Producing Zone

Peak SIM Lock

Gas Producing Zone

The SIM Lock system can be fitted with straddle tubes

between an upper and lower packer to provide isolation across the straddled zone. There is no requirement for a different SIM Lock device –

all SIM Lock applications use the same base SIM Lock components.

The SIM Lock system has a unique selective latch mechanism on each straddle connector to allow the tubes to be recovered one at a time should the straddle need to be retrieved. This can be critical for safety purposes when trying to recover the straddle section back into the

lubricator. If the recovered straddle system is longer than expected because more than one straddle tube has been recovered, it may not be possible to function the Xmas Tree valves thus creating a safety hazard.

The SIM Lock Integral Gas Lift System incorporates a Gas Lift Choke Sub / Connector that is run within the straddle system providing controlled gas flow from a gas zone

behind the straddled zone. If required the choke can be re-

sized by recovering the upper straddle tube.
