SIM System – SIM Plug & Prong

When the SIM Lock is fitted with an elastomeric

Sealing Prong in place with
debris retaining Centraliser element and run with a prong it will then act as a bi-
directional plug.

Applications include:
Peak SIM Lock
 Collision Barrier during drilling operations
 Wellhead isolation
 Zonal Isolation for water shut off
 Zonal Isolation to prevent cross flow / co-mingling
 Packer Setting & tubing tests during completions
 Tubing Integrity testing

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.

Applications include:

 Collision Barrier during drilling operations

 Wellhead isolation
 Zonal Isolation for water shut off
 Zonal Isolation to prevent cross flow / co-mingling
 Packer Setting & tubing tests during completions
 Tubing Integrity testing

 Oil Producing Zone
SIM System – SIM Choke
The SIM Lock body when set, is able to receive an
Recoverable Downhole
independently recoverable Downhole Choke thus allowing
Choke 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
Peak SIM Lock 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 System – SIM Straddle

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
Peak SIM Lock different SIM Lock device – all SIM Lock applications use
the same base SIM Lock components.

The SIM Lock system has a unique selective latch

Isolated Water or High C02 mechanism on each straddle connector to allow the tubes
Producing Zone 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
Peak SIM Lock 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.

 Isolate water zones

 Isolate unwanted gas flow
 Isolate a hole in tubing
 Isolate a leaking device within the tubing – SPM, SSD etc

SIM System – SIM Gaslift Straddle

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
Peak SIM Lock behind the straddled zone. If required the choke can be re-
sized by recovering the upper straddle tube.
Integral Gaslift Sub
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
Peak SIM Lock recovered, it may not be possible to function the Xmas
