The SIM Lock system was developed initially at the request of Unocal / Chevron to specifically meet
their well and operational requirements in the Gulf of Thailand. As such the SIM Lock system was
required to:
Be operable without explosives, motors or any other delicate electro / hydraulic systems
Be cost Effective
Is run with a common running tool which incorporates drag spring, j-slot and upper slip
arrangement. The running tool is fully recoverable and not integral to the SIM Lock body
Can be run on e-line or slickline firing system and set pyrotechnically, using standard setting
tools or where required to be run on coiled tubing or tubing can be set hydraulically
Is designed so that all pressure components that remain in the well are made of material
conforming to NACE MR0175
Gauge Hanger
Plug System
Straddle System
Downhole Choke
Suspension Device
The SIM Lock system has been designed to function to suit a range of applications using the SIM
Lock body as the common component base. The system requires no special hand tools to assemble
or disassemble the various applications and as such it is fully serviceable in the field.
3.0 Applications
The SIM Lock system provides a large range of applications which are all based on and built up from
the basic SIM Lock body:
The simplest and most basic application is as a Gauge Hanger where no sealing mechanism
is required
When the SIM Lock Body is fitted with an elastomeric element it forms a plug body. To create
a sealing device there are a selection of equalising devices to choose from including Melon,
Prong or Pump-Open type options.
As a plug or flow through device it can be used as a suspension device for carrying other
control devices
The plug can then be run as a flow through device but fitted with an interchangeable choke to
control fluid flow within the well
The system then can be run with an upper and lower plug body connected by a stackable
straddle system to provide isolation over the desired section to be straddled
The same straddle section can be fitted with an Integral Gas Lift device to provide down hole
gas lift
All of the applications are run with a small number of common running and pulling tools.

In its simplest form the SIM Lock body is used as a carrier for
downhole tools. In such applications it maybe used as a:
The advantage of the SIM Lock in all cases is that it allows the
tool being conveyed by the SIM Lock to be placed as close as
is desired to the area for pin-point data acquisition.
