Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003142

A downhole tool that can be set and subsequently retrieved from a wellbore to isolate a specific zone. It creates a temporary barrier to fluid flow, allowing for operations such as fracturing, cementing, or testing in zones above or below it. Unlike permanent bridge plugs, it does not require milling for removal.
