AXI-Zone
Temporary Gel Plug for Zonal Isolation
Whether you require zonal isolation or a temporary blocking plug, AXI-Zone can help.
AXI-Zone's simplistic design enables you to maintain pressure control or achieve temporary isolation with ease. This is a pumpable gel that becomes rigid within the well, forming a tight and reliable plug.
It is delivered as two components - a base and a retarder. Both are easily mixed into water or brine using standard equipment, before being pumped into place either via coiled tubing or bullheading.
The retarder dosage can easily be adjusted to suit the delay in setting required.
