The TRIDENT™ System is a rotary driven, single-trip cut and pull spear which incorporates several innovative trip-saving features. These features include an integral tension set packer, a hydraulically activated spear and a cutting mode which eliminates the accumulation of swarf at surface. In a single trip, the TRIDENT System can run and set a bridge plug or dress a cement plug; cut casing; circulate annular gas; and recover casing to surface.
