The Paladin ESP Catcher is a high-strength isolation solution engineered to safeguard laterals and reduce the risk of costly fishing operations during ESP installations. Featuring a built-in adjustable shear pump-out plug, it allows operators to isolate the wellbore prior to running ESP equipment, with plug options available in aluminum or dissolvable materials. Constructed from cast iron, the Paladin delivers the strength to withstand high loads while remaining drillable for efficient removal through milling or combined retrieval methods. Proprietary hardened slips provide a secure grip against the casing wall while preventing premature setting, and the integrated internal seal bore allows a seal assembly to be run after pump-out—offering added flexibility during flowback operations.
