ABSTRACT:
Well equipment such as packers, check valves, gas lift valves, sliding sleeves, side pocket mandrels, retrievable plugs and the like located anywhere in a well are protected from particles of solid debris by forming a column of a protective liquid having a density of at least about 3.0 grams per milliliter in contact with and extending above the equipment. The protective liquid serves as a barrier to prevent particles of debris having a density less than that of the liquid from settling on or around the equipment and working their way into small clearances where they may cause operational and other problems.
