Peak Impression Block (PIB)

The Peak Impression Block (PIB) is a unique LEAD-FREE tool for taking high definition impressions of objects, known or unknown, within the wellbore.  The PIB reduces operating time, whilst offering a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to LIBs.

The Peak Impression Block uses high-performance, rapid-change inserts that eliminate the health and environmental issues associated with lead used in LIBs. PIB Inserts can be changed quickly and easily within seconds, enabling used inserts to be kept as a permanent record of operation. The PIB is also ideally suited to higher temperature applications where traditional lead-based impression blocks would be unsuitable.

A single jar down is all that is required to obtain a high definition impression. Upon recovery, the used PIB Insert is simply removed from the main body and replaced with a new Insert. The PIB is instantly ready for redeployment, enabling the used Insert to be kept for analysis.
