Bigger oil and gas companies are bundling all of their services, including frac plugs, to give customers more convenience with a single provider. It sounds great: turnkey pricing and a complete package from one provider. But is that really the best option for your completion?

When the success of your frac is on the line, it’s better to trust the product, not just pick the most convenient option. In this article, we explore five reasons why you might want to reconsider bundled products and services—and pick an independent company with quality products like Repeat Precision instead.

1. We have a better product.

Repeat Precision’s sealing package does a better job than any of our competitors’ products. For example, the PurpleSeal™ frac plug has anti-extrusion fins on the lower cone, as well as a substantially sized rubber element that provides over 1” of rubber engagement with the casing. We also use a fully optimized, rigorously tested ball-and-seat design, with material selections that lend themselves to a better drill-out.

2. We hold the patent on pre-assembled tools.

No, really, we hold multiple patents for the FracSure Express and FracSure Max integrated tools. FracSure Express combines our composite frac plug and setting tool, while FracSure Max adds our perforating gun to the mix. If you see another provider selling an integrated tool like ours… Well, we don’t want to tattle, but they really shouldn’t be.

3. We provide top-notch plug service.

We’re one of the few plug companies that has an expert on location in your basin. When we arrive, you get an expert who knows our products inside-out and can answer any questions on the spot. As for bigger providers who bundle their products and services, their service teams aren’t as familiar with the company’s products. We think that if you’re going to offer plug service, you should actually know how to service the plug.

4. We’re always-improving innovators.

There’s an old Henry Ford quote we like: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” You don’t go from horses to cars without thinking big, improving products, and being best in class. Our products are the main focus of our business, not dragged along with the frac. So they’d better be damn good, because we’re staking the company on their performance.

5. We show up every day.

Every day, we bring our best selves to the job. Bigger providers don’t have to. If there’s a misstep out in the field, other providers can just give the customer a discount on their ticket. But we don’t believe in throwing money at problems to make them go away. Instead, we do our best work and provide our best products the first time, every time. That way, there aren’t any mistakes to fix.

We know you’re busy, and convenience is important to you. But so is efficiency—and you may not get that with whatever products are bundled with your provider’s frac crew. You’re better off choosing a provider like Repeat Precision. Contact us today to get started and add our quality downhole completion equipment to your frac.
