E Plug Successfully Tests and Qualifies the First 9 5/8" TorcPlug to ISO 14310 V0

E Plug announces the successful testing and qualification of its first 9 5/8in TorcPlug to ISO 14310 V0 / API 11D1, marking a significant milestone for multi-set, retrievable, barrier-qualified wireline plugs for larger casing sizes

The 9 5/8in TorcPlug (TP-800-M) extends E Plug’s multi-set, single-run platform into a critical casing domain for P&A, workover, and completion operations, enabling operators to consolidate steps traditionally requiring multiple runs—setting, equalizing, releasing, and resetting—while maintaining barrier integrity and real-time control over setting forces. This achievement aligns with ISO 14310 V0/API 11D1 verification benchmarks, which represent the most stringent grade for packers and bridge plugs, including gas testing, axial load, temperature cycling, and a zero-bubble acceptance criterion for sealing performance

The TorcPlug combines a bolt-and-nut threaded-shaft architecture with dual independent shafts—one for setting/retrieval and one for equalization—allowing operators to equalize through the plug prior to release and then reclose the valve without leaving the well, all in a single run. With bi-directional, mechanically retracted slips, anti-extrusion protection, adjustable setting forces, real-time setting force data, and a mill-to-release contingency, the 9 5/8in TorcPlug delivers a robust barrier solution tailored to complex, high-spec operations in larger tubulars.

By achieving V0-grade validation ensures design validation and quality levels for packers and bridge plugs, E Plug provides operators with a barrier solution that meets the highest global standard for sealing reliability and safety-critical applications. The result is a step-change in operational certainty for P&A and workover campaigns seeking to reduce rig time, simplify logistics, and increase flexibility, especially in rig-less deployments on wireline or coiled tubing.

E Plug’s technology strategy is to enable more efficient and safer operations through real-time control and data-driven decision-making, and the 9 5/8" TorcPlug V0 qualification underscores this mission at larger sizes where operators can realize outsized value from consolidated, multi-set barrier workflows. This milestone follows previously communicated advances in new TorcPlug sizes, responsive engineering initiatives, and broader solution sets aimed at multi-zone integrity verification and rig-less barrier workflows.
