isol8 Fusion Alloy Barriers
The most technically advanced, metallurgically bonded-alloy barriers on the market.
Page last modified
April 11 2024
isol8’s range of Fusion products are the most technically advanced, metallurgically bonded-alloy barriers on the market. They represent a step change in downhole sealing performance with the highest shear-bond strength, greatest radial expansion capability and longest life-expectancy.
isol8’s Fusion products are designed by well engineers for well engineers.
They can be deployed on slickline, electric wireline, coiled tubing or pipe. The single trip design has an integral retainer to deliver the highest level of barrier assurance and eliminates ratty alloy.
Safety first. isol8’s initiation system incorporates 2 independent means to prevent the inadvertent initiation of the exothermic reaction at the wellsite: complying with API RP-67 (Ed 3, Oct.’19). The toolstring also incorporates 2 independently powered initiation triggers to avoid any potentially costly misrun.
Engineered for Safety, Integrity, Strength, Quality and Reliability.
Pros & Limitations
1
Bonded-alloy barriers are zero-emission barriers.
1
The Fusion technology has >5 times the shear-bond strength of an unbonded bismuth alloy plug.
1
isol8 is the only oilfield service company that creates a metallurgical bond between the alloy and the steel.
1
Our Fusion plugs, annulus barriers, patches, straddles and bonded alloy centralizers all create a metallurgical bond with the steel pipe.
1
The Fusion alloy barrier can create ultra-high expansion plugs.
1
Ultra-high expansion plugs can withstand much higher differential pressures than high expansion mechanical bridge plugs.
1
Alloy barriers can seal the tubing and the annulus.
1
With Fusion plugs and patches/straddles the alloy can penetrate screens, gravel packs and perforations.
