Setting a bridge plug successfully requires a clean setting area. To achieve this, some operators scrape the setting area before running the plug, which requires an additional trip in and out of the hole.
The CX-DB (Drillable Brush) is made up directly to the plug or packer to clean and effectively prepare tool setting areas. Fluid is directed through the body of the Drillable Brush to support cleaning.
Brushing can be done in the same run as the plug setting, eliminating the need for a dedicated scraper run and saving the additional run in-hole and more than three hours in rig time. This also creates a better cement bond, reducing the risk of micro annuli and increasing reliability.
