Wellvene WellVeX

A grade V0 Q1 qualified landing nipple blanking plug that combines the sealing capability and integrity assurance of a bridge plug expanding element, with the operational simplicity and reliability of a conventional lock mandrel.

The WellVeX has been designed to provide a landing nipple blanking plug that combines the sealing capability and integrity assurance of a bridge plug expanding element with a conventional lock mandrel’s operational simplicity and reliability.

The API 14L Grade V0 Q1 qualified plug offers a single element, true bi-directional seal. It can be retrofitted to suit existing OEM landing nipple profiles while ensuring the vast range of features and benefits significantly reduce operational time, cost and safety
