Introduction
The Baker Model A(O)H-40 Sur-Set Bypass
Blanking Plug is a positive blank off device de-
signed to seal off pressure from above and below.
This plug consists of an A(O)R Lock, an A(O)-4 se-
lective locating device and a Model H bottom.
The A(O)H-40 is designed to be run in two wire-
line trips and retrieved in two trips. The second
wireline trip during installation is to run a prong
which seals off the equalization ports in the plug.
The first trip during retrieval is to pull the prong
from the plug which equalizes any differential pres-
sure across the plug.
The A(O)H-40 is designed to be run in a selec-
tive completion, where the Sur-Set locator con-
verts standard bottom no-go Sur-Set locking
mandrels into selective Sur-Set locking mandrels
capable of seating in a specific selective A(O)-1
Sur-Set seating nipple. These seating nipples can
allow for production tubing strings to be designed
with a single seal bore size from top to bottom.
