Halliburton Nipple-Less Lock System

&
Retrievable Bridge Plug
By definition, the goal of a monobore
completion is to achieve a constant ID
from wellbore to reservior. In these wells,
as in most all producing and injection
wells, the need for well control devices
remains. To accommodate this need,
Halliburton’s Monolock and PES’s
Retrievable Bridge Plug devices have
been designed to be set anywhere in the
tubing or liner without the necessity of a
landing nipple.
 BENEFITS

• Ability to set anywhere in

tubing/liner (No landing nipples
required)
• Internal slips/lock rings retain tool
in set position to provide packer
type reliability
• Can be run & pulled on slickline,
e-line or coil tubing
• Setting mechanism can be either
the Halliburton DPU or the PES
Pressure Setting Tool
• Field proven element designs
• Designed to be run & retrieved
through restrictions in tubing
string
• Requires no wireline manipulation
to set
 APPLICATION

• Designed for minimum

intervention costs (can be run
and retrieved on slickline)
• Positive barrier for temporary
abandonment or upper well
workovers
• Mechanism for setting packers
& testing tubing
• Isolate unproductive zones
• Installation of flow control
devices anywhere in tubing
string

slip and release mechanism
Compact Design
• Minimizes height of lubricator stack
• Suited for use in high angle/severe dogleg wells
• Upon retrieval, tool is mechanically held in release/retracted
position and allows tool be be moved downhole
• Optimized OD for greater clearance
Modular Design
• Uses a base chassis form which a range of sizes can be catered by
changing the element, gauge rings and slips
