AXI-Zone
Temporary Gel Plug for Zonal Isolation
Page last modified
April 11 2024
Whether you require zonal isolation or a temporary blocking plug, AXI-Zone can help.
AXI-Zone's simplistic design enables you to maintain pressure control or achieve temporary isolation with ease. This is a pumpable gel that becomes rigid within the well, forming a tight and reliable plug.
It is delivered as two components - a base and a retarder. Both are easily mixed into water or brine using standard equipment, before being pumped into place either via coiled tubing or bullheading.
The retarder dosage can easily be adjusted to suit the delay in setting required.
Pros & Limitations
1
Cost saving, as it can be deployed without a rig
1
Deployed using simple mixing equipment and either coiled tubing or bullheading
1
Can be applied in temperatures up to 175C
1
Compatible in high salinity environments
1
Accomodates delays in deployment, as the setting is thermally controlled
1
Easily broken chemically and flowed back
0
The surface temperature must be lower than the well temperature
