Medium-expansion retrievable bridge plug
The ODIN™ Medium-Expansion and HPHT Retrievable Bridge Plug is a retrievable bridge plug designed for wireline, slickline, or coiled tubing deployment. With a compact pre-expansion design that enables passage through restrictions like SCSSVs, damaged casing, and nipple profiles, ODIN offers a significant expansion ratio and can therefore accommodate various casing sizes and weights from a single size/design.
Effective sealing is achieved in conjunction with Stellar™, a patented element support system that provides 360° metal-to-metal contact with the full circumference of the casing, combining unprecedented high-pressure sealing with large expansion.

Featured case
In collaboration with Ovintiv, a leading North American E&P operator managing sour gas wells, the ODIN™ HPHT Retrievable Bridge Plug underwent in-field qualification to confirm its performance as a contingency barrier capable of drifting a 3.688-in. nipple profile and sealing in highly sour environment.
ODIN™ demonstrated reliable deployment, and pressure integrity. The project qualified the plug’s high expansion range, HPHT capability, and suitability for critical barrier applications, successfully demonstrating V0 sealing performance to 10,000 psi during a test conducted offsite – exceeding the client’s 7,500 psi requirement.
| Applications |
| Well barrier during maintenance, workovers, and temporary abandonment |
| Reservoir isolation, water shutoff or treatment |
| Packer and contingency packer setting |
| Plugging completions with damaged nipple profiles |
| Hanging completion accessories |
| Thru-tubing completions |
| High-pressure, high-temperature |
| Features |
| Patented Stellar™ backup technology for continuous metal-to-metal element support |
| Single model covers a wide range of casing sizes with no conversion parts |
| High expansion ratio ensures passage through tight restrictions |
| Staged setting and release for controlled sequencing of slips, backups, and element |
| Active extension returns the element to original OD for maximum retrieval clearance |
| Bidirectional wicker slips maximize contact area while minimizing casing stress |
| Debris-tolerant equalizing and retrieval system |
| Single-trip, two-stage retrieval via internal GS profile (shear-down to equalize, pull to release) |
| Rotationally locked components allow partial or full plug mill-out |
| Benefits |
| Unmatched high-pressure sealing integrity with ability to pass through restrictions |
| Maximum operational range with one tool covering multiple casing sizes |
| Maximum operational range with one tool covering multiple casing sizes |
| Reliable running performance through tight or damaged restrictions |
