Fusion - Bonded 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.
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.
Pros & Limitations
1
Engineered for safety, integrity, strength, quality and reliability
1
isol8 uniquely creates a metallurgical bond between the alloy barrier and the steel tubing/casing
1
Thermite can flow to fill the wellbore to generate greater radial heat when required
Specification
