The Permanent Drillable Tubing Bridge Plug is designed with a few defining features that differentiate it from the conventional cast iron plugs currently on the market. It utilizes a specially designed Ecner Array elastomer system to provide structural integrity within the sealing element to withstand the differential pressure. This eliminates the fragile slotted metal backups normally employed to support the sealing element in the annular area between the plug and the pipe wall, making for a more robust plug design.
