Cement retainer

Seawell's sleeve valve cement retainer is a safe, reliable, fast and inexpensive means of placing a cement retainer at a predetermined depth in the casing.

Designed with high quality materials that ensure an excellent combination of strength and drillability, this retainer can easily be converted to wireline set/tubing set bridge plug.

The locked upper cone cannot move upward under slips due to impact from below because of a stop ring attached to the body of the retainer. Lower slips are securely locked against a mating shoulder in the body and cannot be knocked loose by impact from below.  And a locked lower cone is pinned to the body and supported through the packing system to the stationary upper cone.This greatly reduces the risk of premature set.
