Permanent Bridge Plug
Weatherford’s Permanent Cement Retainer (PCR) and Permanent Bridge Plug (PBP)
products are based on a modular, field-proven, drillable cast iron design that provides
versatility in a variety of applications.
The PCR may be set mechanically or by a wireline setting tool, with the top slips
interchangeable to allow this ability. The PCR converts to an ideal well test isolation valve
by replacing the bottom guide with a tail pipe adapter.
The PCR also converts to a Permanent Bridge Plug (PBP) by replacing the sleeve valve
with a solid plug.
The PBP is also a field-proven, modular cast iron drillable tool for various applications. As
with the PCR, changing the top slips enables this versatile bridge plug to be set
mechanically or with a wireline setting tool.
Applications
 Cementing
 Stimulation
 Well abandonment
 Temporary or permanent zone isolation
Features, Advantages, and Benefits

 Cast iron drillable design
 Simple, surface-controlled valve automatically closes when stinger is removed

14 Pre-run Inspection
EQUIPMENT
Check: Confirm that the PCR/PBP is the proper size for the casing size and weight in which it
will be set.
 Inspect packing element and slips for cuts, cracks, and shipping damage. Do not run a damaged tool.
 Verify that the outside diameter (OD) of the packing element is not larger than the OD of the back -up ring.
 Verify that the inside diameter (ID) is free of debris.
EQUIPMENT
Check: Document visual inspection and dimensional checks.
15 Precautions and Handling

 It is standard practice and highly recommended to run scrapers, gauge ring and junk basket to clean
wells prior to running any production equipment. Failure to do this can result in misruns and premature
setting of cement retainers or bridge plugs.
EQUIPMENT
Caution: Weatherford cannot guarantee any equipment if the scraper run, gauge ring, and
junk basket have not been utilized to clean the well of debris and bridges prior to running
equipment.
 Do not lift tool at packing element or slip locations.

 Running speed should not exceed 90 ft/min on tubing or 150 ft/min on wireline. Monitor running weight
and adjust speed as required. Run the tool slow enough to allow fluid bypass around the tool.
 Avoid setting the retainer/bridge plug in or near casing collars or in perforated casing joints as doing so
may compromise the integrity of the tool, casing or both.
EQUIPMENT Note: Occasionally, the situation may arise where the PCR/PBP must pass through a heavier
weight casing than that for which it is designed or damaged sections of casing with reduced
internal diameters. In these situations the PCR/PBP should always be sized to the casing size
and weight at the setting point.
Note: A wireline feeler and junk catcher with an appropriate gauge ring size should always be
EQUIPMENT run before running the cement retainer or bridge plug. The wireline feeler and junk catcher will
remove debris from the well bore and gauge the internal diameter to assure that no
obstructions or restrictions exist that could cause problems when the PCR/PBP is run. The
proper gauge ring size for each cement retainer is shown as the OD in the specific setting
tool’s specification chart.

16 General Running Operation
EQUIPMENT
Check: Prior to cement retainer or bridge plug installation a well-specific operational procedure
must be prepared, approved by the customer, and endorsed by any third party involved.
Running the PCR on tubing or drill pipe with the MST Mechanical Setting Tool
The mechanical-set PCR Cement Retainer is run on tubing or drill pipe using the MST mechanical setting tool.
The MST contains the upper slips of the cement retainer/bridge plug in a safe retracted position while running to
the setting depth. The slide valve on the retainer is in the opened position while being run in the well to allow the
tubing to fill, and to allow circulation, if necessary.
The upper slips are released by right-hand rotation and lowering the work string down to the required setting
depth. The cement retainer/bridge plug is anchored to the casing by pulling the required tension at the tool. (See
Recommended Tension Limits table on page 37.) When the setting procedure is completed, the slide valve is
closed by picking up 2 in. at the tool or opened by slacking off 2 in. With the slide valve in the closed position, the
work string may be pressure tested.
The MST contains a built-in snap-out feature which provides approximately 5,000 lbf of snap-out tension on the
indicator when the work string is picked up to close the slide valve. This tension indicator is re-engaged each time
the work string is lowered to open the slide valve.
The MST is equipped with drag pads or springs to assure positive control during running and setting procedures
at all depths or in highly deviated wells.
EQUIPMENT
Note: When the PCR is converted to a PBP Bridge Plug, the MST must be converted as well
by changing the top coupling to a ported coupling, replacing t he bottom stinger sub, and
removing the stinger seal. Refer to the MST technical manual for details.
17 Mounting PCR or PBP on the Mechanical Setting Tool MST

17.1 Place top collar of the mechanical setting tool in a vise with the dog of the setting tool in an upright position.
17.2 Move drag block assembly down until it stops.
17.3 Rotate drag block assembly to the right until it engages the clutch and stops. Rotate setting sleeve towards
the drag block assembly until the upset on the control latch is exposed.
17.4 Slide upper slips over the stinger sub body. Loosen clamp on the slips only enough to slide slips over the
upset on the control latch, and then re-tighten. Lubricate upper non-wickered portion of the slips where
setting sleeve contacts slips with grease. Rotate setting sleeve down over the slips until setting sleeve
contacts the clamp on the slips. Loosen and move the clamp to the wickered portion of the slips. Continue
rotating the setting sleeve down until the sleeve bottoms out against the top wicker of the slips. Back off
three turns.
EQUIPMENT
Check: Ensure that the drag block assembly is still engaged with the clutch. Re-adjust setting
sleeve, if necessary.
17.5 Lubricate stinger sub and latch with grease. Place a liberal amount of grease in the retainer bore.


48 of 84
17.6 Slide cement retainer/bridge plug over the stinger. Drive retainer over the stinger seal until the retainer
shoulders on the control latch. Use a wood block to protect the lower end of the retainer when driving the
retainer onto the stinger seal.
EQUIPMENT
Note: Warming the seal may make retainer installation easier.
17.7 Rotate retainer to make up left-hand thread of the control latch into the left-hand thread at top of the cement
retainer/bridge plug. Make up hand tight.
17.8 Align screw hole of the retainer body and control latch, install shear screw.
17.9 Rotate setting sleeve down until it bottoms out on the wickered portion of the slip. Back up the setting sleeve
a half turn and secure with two set screws.
EQUIPMENT
Check: Ensure that the drag block housing can still be rotated easily by hand.
17.10 Tighten clamp on the upper slips for transport purposes. Remove clamp on the upper slips before running in
the well.
EQUIPMENT
Check: A straight reference line may be placed down the length of the retainer and setting tool
when the drag block housing is in the stop position. This line can be used later to verify that
everything is still in alignment prior to running the tool.
18 Running Procedure
18.1 Make up the top sub of the running tool to the lower pin end of the work string. Use a good quality API-
approved thread lubricant and torque all work string connections to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
EQUIPMENT
Caution: During run in, take care to avoid any right-hand rotation at the setting tool. As a
precaution, one left-hand turn should be placed in the work string every 10–15 stands.
18.2 When the desired setting depth has been reached, the tools should be picked up 2 ft (0.6 m) above the
desired setting point. This movement is necessary to provide the required tool stroke to release the upper
slips and allow the control nut to move freely.
18.3 Rotate the work string to the right sufficiently to transmit 10 turns at the tool. This right-hand rotation will
thread the control nut off of its matching threads on the mandrel and release the control sleeve and setting
sleeve from the controlled position.
18.4 Lower the tool to the desired setting point. The drag blocks or springs will support the control sleeve and
setting sleeve. The downward motion of the tool mandrel will move the slips from under the setting sleeve.
The slips are forced out toward the casing wall by the leaf s prings attached to the inside of each slip
segment. When the slips are released, there is sufficient clearance for the locking dog to move out and
release the control latch from the stinger sub body.
18.5 Pull 1/3 of the minimum recommended tension (see table below) above the pipe weight at the tool to start
setting the slips and initiate a pack off. Slack-off the same amount (1/3).

Note: For sizes above 16 in., contact a Weatherford Applications Engineer for the
amount of tension required.
18.6 Pull 2/3 of the minimum recommended tension above the pipe weight at the tool to continue setting the slips
and further pack off. Slack-off the same amount (2/3).
18.7 Pull the full minimum recommended tension above the pipe weight at the tool, hold and slack-off the same
amount to confirm the plug is set.
18.8 Pressure test the plug. If the tool does not hold pressure, increase the tension to the maximum
recommended value per the table above. Re-test the plug.
EQUIPMENT
Caution: Slack-off should never exceed 50,000 lbs when the maximum recommended tension
in the table exceeds 50,000 lbs.
18.9 The setting tool may be released from the cement retainer by pulling 500 lbf at the tool and rotating the work
string 10 turns to the right at the tool. The above movement will shear the shear screw and unscrew the
setting tool's control latch from the retainer.
18.10 The setting tool may be re-latched to the cement retainer by setting down 500–1,000 lbm of work string
weight and snapped out again by pulling 5,000–8,000 lbf at the tool. The seal assembly will remain in the
retainer until the control latch’s retaining force is exceeded.
EQUIPMENT
Note: Each time the setting tool is snapped in and snapped out, the snap-in and snap-out
values are reduced until they reach 500 lbf (snap in) and 5,000 lbf (snap out).
19 Special Running Consideration

In wells where paraffin or suspended solids in the well fluids are present, the dog on the control latch may not fully
release from the stinger sub body. This is indicated when the cement retainer sets properly, as in steps 1 –4, but
the slide valve will not close so that a tubing pressure test may be performed. In this event the tubing should be
alternately picked up and slacked off. This movement will cause the dog to move out on the inclined edges of the
control groove in the stinger sub body, freeing the body for the required vertical movement. An upward movement

of 2 in. at the retainer will close the slide valve while 2 in. of downward vertical movem ent at the retainer will open
the slide valve.

21 Setting Equipment Guide for Electric Line Set PCR or PBP

The Weatherford PCR Cement Retainer/PBP Bridge Plug is designed to be set utilizing a Gearhart, Pengo, or
Baker E-4 or E-5 Electric Line setting tool. A wireline adapter kit is required to adapt the appropriately sized
electric line setting tool to the cement retainer/bridge plug. Check the setting equipment guide for the proper
setting and cementing tool requirements.
Also in this technical manual are the individual parts lists and dimensional data for each product number of the
electric line setting equipment. Assembly instructions for attaching the cement retainer/bridge plug to the electric
line setting tool should be very carefully read and followed.
EQUIPMENT
Caution: The setting and cementing tools are designed as service tools and are to be used
repetitively. To ensure error-free function, the tools should be disassembled after each usage,
carefully cleaned, inspected, and reassembled using new O-rings and seals.
22 Operation
The Weatherford PCR Cement Retainer/PBP Bridge Plug is attached to the wireline pressure setting assembly
with the properly sized wireline adapter kit and run to the setting depth. When the pressure setting assembly is
actuated, the tension mandrel moves up in relation to the setting sleeve of the adapter kit, setting and packing off
the cement retainer. The pressure setting tool develops force that is in excess of that required to set the cement
retainer/bridge plug and the continued upward movement then breaks the releas e stud, allowing the pressure
setting tool and adapter kit to be retrieved. The cement retainer’s sliding valve will be in the closed position after
setting and releasing from the pressure setting tool. This provides a high pressure seal from above or belo w.

24 Hydraulic Forces Acting on Cement Retainers

Hydraulically generated forces created by applied pressure to the casing and work string act upon the seal sub
during cementing operations. The magnitude of these forces is variable and affected by the cement retainer
sealbore, work string weight, annular pressure, and work string pressure changes at the tool.
An increase in annular pressure at the tool tends to lift the work string, which can cause the slide valve to close.
This force generated by an annular pressure increase is calculated by multiplying the annular pressure increase
by the tubing outside area, minus the sealbore area of the cement retainer.
A pressure increase in the tubing string exerts a lift force at the top of the string, which will reduce the effective
hook load. A pressure increase in the work string at the tool will tend to hold the seal in the cement retainer and
keep the slide valve opened. The net of these two forces is upward and is equal to the increase in the work string
pressure multiplied by the area of the cement retainer bore. When this force is equal to the work string weight,
any additional pressure will lift the work string and allow the slide valve to close. Therefore, the minimum setting
depth will depend on the applied pressure changes in the work string and annulus acting to lift the available work
string weight.
The amount of work string and annulus pressure that can be applied will be limited for any size and length of the
work string. When the total of the forces is equal to the weight of the work string in the well fluid, an increase in
either pressure will raise the string and close the slide valve. However, the cementing pres sure may be increased
if the casing pressure is decreased or decreased if the casing pressure is increased.
24.1 Multiply the change in the work string pressure at the tool by Columns 1, 4, or 6 in the Areas Acted Upon –
Tubing and Annulus Pressures below, whichever is applicable.
24.2 Multiply the change in the annulus pressure at the tool by Columns 2, 5, or 7 in the Areas Acted Upon –
Tubing and Annulus Pressures below, whichever is applicable.
EQUIPMENT
Note: If the total of these two forces is tending to close the slide valve (a negative value), set-
down weight is required to overcome the upward force.
24.3 Multiply the work string surface gauge pressure by Column 3 in the Areas Acted Upon – Tubing and Annulus
Pressures below, whichever is applicable. This area is always negative and tends to lift the work string at the
surface, closing the slide valve. If by adding all three forces the result is a negative force tending to close the
slide valve, and is greater than the total hook load of the work string before the setting tool, the tubing will
raise and the slide valve will be closed. Since the hook load is the limiting factor, high pressures at shallow
depths may not be possible.
24.4 The values given in the chart below are provided as positive (+) and negative (-) numbers. These values
reflect the area in square inches affected by the pressure change and the direction of the resulting force. A
positive (+) area will cause a force tending to keep the slide valve opened. A negative (-) area will create an
upward force on the work string, tending to close the slide valve. When the net force is upward, set -down
weight must be used to keep the valve opened.

cementing plus cementing pressure
Annulus Pressure to be Applied during Cementing 1,000 psi
3,500 psi (Tubing Pressure Change at Tool) ×1.7 (Column 1) = +5,950 lbm
1,000 psi (Annulus Pressure Change at Tool) × 3.0 (Column 2) = -3,000 lbm
5,950-3,000 = 2,950 lbf down (No set-down weight will be needed)
3,000 psi (Gauge Pressure) × 3.1 (column 3) = -9,300 lbm
5,950-3,000-9,300 = -6,350 lbm
This is less than the maximum hook load of 7,000 lbm, therefore the job may be performed.

25 Recommended Removal Techniques for Cement Retainers and Bridge Plugs

Drilling with a medium steel tooth tri-cone bit is the preferred method of removing drillable cement retainers and
bridge plugs since drilling can usually be accomplished in less time than mill out of the same cement retainer or
plug. This high relative removal time for the milling technique is explained by the examination and the mechanics
of the two methods. Drilling causes a chiseling effect, and milling has a shaving effect of the target. Further,
milling yields more debris of the type that causes penetration stoppage. Drilling with a short- to medium-tooth hard
formation rock bit is usually the best combination for cement retainer or plug removal.
25.1 Other Factors

 Equipment and/or future operations below the retainer may make it critical that the retainer be completely
removed. Equipment, techniques, and expertise are readily available from Weatherford Fishing to allow
the retainer to be removed without completely drilling up the retainer.
 It may be difficult to completely drill-up the retainer if no cement is below the retainer. In the absence of
cement, the bottom end of the retainer will fall down once the lower slips of the retainer are removed and
will no longer be “keyed” for drilling. In some cases where cement below the retainer has not fully cured,
the bottom end of the retainer will “drill through” the cement without getting drilled up. This portion of the
retainer can present serious complications if left above other equipment in the wellbore. Consult with
Weatherford Fishing for removal procedures.
 The design of most cement retainers includes a high strength steel “valve sleeve” inside the bottom end
of the retainer. This material is not easily drilled and milling operations may be needed to fully remove it.
Such components are not present in drillable bridge plugs.
 A successful removal procedure will result from proper consideration of all factors involved.
25.2 Suggested Drilling Techniques

The best drilling technique will vary with equipment availability. A typical combination consists of a short - or
medium-tooth hard formation bit (IADC CODES 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4 and 3-1), 75 to 120 rpm rotary speed and drill
collars as necessary for weight and bit stabilization. To drill the retainer or plug:
 Apply 5,000–7,000 lbf until the top end of the retainer mandrel is drilled (4 in., 101.60 mm).
 Increase weight to 2,000–3,000 lbf/in. of the bit’s diameter to drill out the remainder.
(Example: Use 9,500–14,250 lbm for a 4¾ in. bit.)
When normal circulation is to be used, place a junk basket above the bit. If reverse circulation is planned, casing
scraper or other equipment in the tubing string above the bit should have an inside fluid passage as large as the
passage through the bit so cuttings will not bridge. Variations in bit speed and bit weight should be made to help
break up metal parts to re-establish bit penetration should it seize while drilling.
Penetration may be stopped by “bit tracking” which is usually caused by insufficient weight on the bit. Bit tracking
occurs when bit teeth travel in the same indentation of “track” made previously by another tooth. Successive tooth
impact to the same location will sometimes deepen the track until the indentations equal bit tooth length, reducing
the impact of the teeth to the point that they will not penetrate. Drilling penetration may be re-established by
raising the bit off of the retainer, and then lowering the bit back onto the retainer while maintaining rotation.
Note: Drilling times are directly related to factors including tool size, bit stability, drilling weight,
EQUIPMENT
pump rate, bit RPM, type of bit, and drilling fluid. The combination of high mud viscosity and
high pump rates may lift the bit off of the retainer during drilling. The same c onsideration
should be used when drilling cement retainers and bride plugs as would be given when drilling
medium hard rock formations.


57 of 84
25.3 Suggested Milling Technique

If equipment availability or other considerations dictate the milling technique must be used, the recommended
combinations are a concave face junk type mill tool, rotated at 60–150 rev/min with 5,000–8,000 lbf on the mill.
Use mud viscosity of 60 centipoise (cps) and a minimum annular velocity of 120 ft/min to assure cutting removal.
When ready to begin milling operations, start the mill above the target and lower it slowly onto the target. Do not
apply weight in excess of the recommended amount. Applying more weight than recommended can t ear out
chunks of the packer and make a bailer trip necessary to remove the chunks to allow further penetration. Maintain
a constant milling rate by adding weight as the tool is milled away.
26 Conversion of Cement Retainer to a Bridge Plug

26.1 Clamp the cement retainer in a vise on the lower cone and remove set screw
from the guide (sizes 8⅝ in. and larger, remove set screws from the flange of
the outer mandrel) and remove lower guide.
26.2 Remove valve using the stinger sub from the Weatherford MST Mechanical
Setting Tool or JSA Snap-Out Seal Assembly. Slide small end of the stinger
sub into the bore of the cement retainer. Push the stinger down the bore with
a bar until it seats inside the valve of the retainer. Bump the valve and the
stinger sub out of the retainer mandrel.
EQUIPMENT
Caution: Do not damage valve or stinger sub during valve

removal.
26.3 Lubricate the bore of the cement retainer guide and the lower end of the
bridging plug. Inspect the bridge plug and make sure it has an O-ring
installed.
26.4 Install the bridge plug into the bore of the guide.
EQUIPMENT
Check: The drive pin in the side of the plug must align with
one of the fluid by-pass holes in the guide.
EQUIPMENT
Check: The thread in the bridging plug must be visible.
26.5 Press the plug into the bore of the guide.

26.6 Turn the guide upside down, if the plug moves or drops out, clean and
lubricate the back of the plug and the bore of the guide, and reseat the plug in
the guide.
26.7 When the plug is properly stuck in place, make up the guide to the retainer mandrel. Tighten the guide with a
wrench and install two set screws through the lower flange.

33 PCR Tail Pipe Adapter

The Weatherford PCR Tail Pipe Adapter provides for the connecting of a tail pipe
to the PCR. The adapter allows enables the suspension of gun tubes below the
cement retainer. The guns are fired by using a stinger assembly to open the by-
pass valve, and to pressure through the cement retainer to initiate the perforating
guns. When the stinger is pulled from the cement retainer the by -pass valve is
closed. Well testing can then be performed by stinging into t he cement retainer to
open the by-pass valve and flow the well.

36 SSA Stinger Seal Assembly

The Weatherford SSA Stinger Seal Assembly (SSA) is a tubing-conveyed latching seal
assembly that is used to operate the sliding valve in a Weatherford PCR previously set on
wireline. The Weatherford SSA should always be run with a Weatherford Tubing Centralizer
(TC) to provide for easier entry into the cement retainer.
The SSA features a built-in snap-out indicator. This provides positive control when the work
string is picked up to close the slide valve. The snap-out indicator re-engages each time the
work string is lowered to open the valve. The snap-out indicator helps prevent the seal from
pumping out during pumping operations or tubing testing. The snap-out indicator may be
removed from the cement retainer by straight pull or by rotation, if desired.
37 Operation – Stinger Seal Assembly
EQUIPMENT
Check: Prior to running and cementing a well-specific
operational procedure must be prepared, approved by the
customer, and endorsed by any third party involved.
The Weatherford SSA is used for sealing into, cementing through, and closing the valve on a
Weatherford Cement Retainer. The SSA will open the valve and latch into the cement retainer
when approximately 3,000–5,000 lbf of set-down weight is landed on the cement retainer. An
upward work string movement of 2 in. at the cement retainer will close the valve for fluid
containment above or below the cement retainer and will allow tubing testing. A downward
movement of 2 in. at the cement retainer will open the valve and allow fluid to be pumped
through the cement retainer.
Approximately 5,000–10,000 lbf tension at the cement retainer is required to snap-out. Each
time the seal assembly is snapped out, the snap-out force is reduced. The snap-out force will
stabilize at approximately 5,000 lbf. Snap-in force will stabilize at approximately 2,500 lbf.
The SSA can also be released from the cement retainer by pulling tension (500–1,000 lbf) over
the string weight at the tool and rotating 8–10 rounds to the right at the tool.
Caution: Forces created by pressures applied to the work string and annulus act upon the
EQUIPMENT
SSA and work string during cementing operations. Under certain conditions, these forces can
cause the SSA to pump out of the cement retainer. Refer to Areas Acted Upon – Tubing and
Annulus Pressures table in Section 20 for information on hydraulic forces acting on the cement
retainer.

43 JSA Snap Out Stinger Assembly

The Weatherford J-Latch Seal Assembly JSA Snap Out Stinger Assembly (JSA) is used with the
Weatherford Wireline Set Cement Retainer. The JSA provides a positive latch for cementing
operation and released with a quarter turn to the right at the tool.
Features
 Positive latching prevents seal assembly from being pumped out of the retainer
 Positive latch facilitates tubing testing with the retainer valve
 Multiple release modes – rotate, snap out, and shear out
 Versatile design permits same tool to operate several sizes of the Weatherford cement
retainer
44 Operation – JSA Snap Out Stinger Assembly
EQUIPMENT
Check: Prior to running and cementing a well-specific
operational procedure must be prepared, approved by the
customer, and endorsed by any third party involved.
Run in hole with JSA Stinger Seal Assembly on tubing. It is recommended that centralizers be run
with the JSA to ensure that the stinger is centered when entering the cement retainer. Latch will
automatically latch when the stinger is lowered into the cement retainer. Pull tension on JSA to
ensure latch is latched in cement retainer. To release stinger, set down weight on the cement
retainer. Rotate tubing a quarter turn to the right at the retainer, pull tension on the stinger to snap
latch out of the cement retainer. Tubing and casing may be circulated and the JSA Stinger pulled
from well.
The JSA may also be released by pulling slight tension (1,000 lbf/444.8 da•N) and rotating tubing
string 8–10 turns to the right at the tool. Maintain tension during rotation to aid release and prevent
re-latch of the collet.
Note: The J-pins may be sheared if operations prevent rotation by pulling approximately 28,000
lbf (12,455.0–da•N) tension at the tool.
