Cycle Plug.

The Omega Pressure Cycle Plug was developed in 1994 and has established an enviable record as one of the most reliable and versatile pump open assemblies available.

Operating in overbalance or underbalance situations, the Omega Pressure Cycle Plug is designed to operate in most pressure cycle situations, including those were high pressure tests and low operating pressures are required. Typically run below a Lock Mandrel, the Pressure Cycle Plug can also provide operational flexibility when deployed below a Retrievable Bridge Plug.

When deployed on either methods, the Pressure Cycle Plug forms a bi-directional barrier. Repeated pressure cycles applied from above will result in the tool opening to give a large bore flow area through the assembly. In addition the Pressure Cycle Plug may also be opened manually using a prong.

Features

  • Standard 6 pressure cycles to open with 12 cycle option.
  • Unique protection system allows use in high debris potential applications.
  • Tool opens at the end of the bleed off phase avoiding surge pressure damage of the formation.

 

Applications
  • Temporary well suspension.
  • Equalisation of plug assemblies in highly deviated wells.
  • Rapid resumption of production flow without well intervention.
  • Protection against production flow loss in the event of a stuck plug.
  • Reduction in slickline runs to retrieve plug assemblies.
  • High debris potential applications in which fill can be flowed or pumped away.

 

Benefits
  • Cycles applied without exceeding tubing test pressures.
  • Simple and rugged allowing easy field redress.
  • Highly debris tolerant.

* Cycles defined for no-overbalance situation. When an overbalance is present additional cycles will be required as a function of the overbalance.

A High Overbalance version of the Cycle Plug (type HO) is also available.
