- One embodiment of the invention will use granular particles in the range of approximately 300 to 400 microns. Of course these size ranges are only approximate and sizes of particles greater than 420 microns and smaller than 100 microns may be used in particular applications.
- the material from which the granular particles are formed can also vary widely. In one

- Such refractory metal carbides include carbides selected from the group consisting of the carbides of silicon, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum, niobium, vanadium, titanium, zirconium, and boron. It is
- refractory metals and metalloids may form a suitable granular particle material.
- a granular particle material There are generally two requirements for a granular particle material to be
- the material must be sufficiently hard that the granules of the material will penetrate the outermost surface of a tubular member rather than simply being crushed between the backing surface and the tubular
- a preferred embodiment of the invention accomplishes this by utilizing a metal matrix
- brazing alloy to fuse the granular particle material to the backing surface.
- the metal matrix preferably has a melting or fusing point lower than the melting or fusing point of the granular particle material or the backing surface.
- Typical brazing alloys could include cobalt-based and
- nickel-based alloys notably those containing significant proportions of chromium.
- brazing alloy may also contain boron, silicon, and phosphorus. Suitable brazing materials are available commercially

- particles are will typically be in a powder form and generally sprinkled in a thin layer onto the backing surface.
- the sprinkling process can be carried out by any number of machines such as

- slip body 61 will also have an outer convex surface 68 and a slip ring channel 67. As seen in Figure 4, a slip retaining ring 63 will rest in ring channel 67 and encircle the plurality of slips 60. A slip spring 65 will be positioned between slip
- Figure 4 also illustrates how inclined surfaces 62 of slips 60 will
- slips 60 will have a granular particle coating 64
- the granular particle coating 64 is identical to granular particle
- a setting piston 80 is formed by another arcuate element which extends continuously around plug body 71.
- setting piston 80 is formed by another arcuate element which extends continuously around plug body 71.
- piston 80 is integrally formed on upper cone section 77.
- a variable volume fluid cavity 83 is
- Fluid cavity 83 will communicate with fluid a channel 82 which runs through upper section 73 of plug body 71 and allows fluid to be
- bridge plug 70 is positioned on a work string and lowered down the well bore to the depth at which it is desired to plug the tubing or casing. While bridge plug 70 is
- bridge plug 70 is lowered to the desired depth, it will be activated by pumping pressurized fluid through the work string into channel 82. The fluid will accumulate in variable fluid cavity 83
- Setting piston 80 will in turn force upper expansion cone 77 downward causing incline surfaces 78 on upper and lower expansion cones 77 and 76 to slide along inclined surfaces 62 of slips 60. This movement will force lower expansion cone 76 against rubber packing element 74, causing it to expand against
- the granular particle surface 64 will become embedded against the inner surface 69 of tubular 66 and slips 60 will be capable of resisting the high oil or gas formation pressures that might otherwise dislodge bridge plug 70.
- the granular particle surface 64 provides the same
- slips 60 may be used in conjunction with devices similar to bridge plugs, such as packers used for production, isolation, testing and stimulation.
- Packers are structurally similar to bridge plugs except that packers contain one or more internal passages to allow a regulated flow of fluid through the packer or to accommodate instrument
- Slips 60 are equally suitable for use in bridge plugs or packers which are activated by mechanical means, wirelines, electric wirelines or other
