  • Tandem releasable bridge plug system and method for setting such tandem releasable bridge plugs
    Patent number: 11255154
    Abstract: A method of setting a tandem releasable bridge plug system in a casing includes assembling a tandem bridge plug string including a lower bridge plug on a lower, disconnectable connector, an upper bridge plug on an upper, disconnectable connector which both are initially disabled by a lock and unlockable from topsides, and running in the tandem plug string on a drill pipe string until the lower plug is at its setting target depth; setting and shutting the lower plug; disconnecting the upper plug from the lower plug; pulling up the upper plug to its upper setting target depth; enabling the upper plug by releasing the lock; setting and shutting the upper plug; disconnecting the drill pipe string from the upper plug.

  • Tandem releasable bridge plug system and method for setting such tandem releasable plugs
    Patent number: 10822915
    Abstract: A method of setting a tandem releasable bridge plug system in a casing includes assembling a tandem bridge plug string including a lower bridge plug and an upper bridge plug. Both the upper bridge plug and the upper connector are initially disabled by a lock and unlockable from topsides; running in the tandem plug string on a drill pipe string until the lower plug is at its setting target depth in the casing; setting and shutting the lower plug; disconnecting the upper plug from the lower plug; pulling up the upper plug to its upper setting target depth in the casing, enabling the upper plug by releasing the lock; venting annulus gas to a central bore of the upper plug through a radial aperture below a packer of the upper plug and below a ball valve; shutting said ball valve in said central bore the upper plug; and disconnecting the drill pipe string from the upper plug.
