Solution
As part of the pre-screening process, Repeat Precision was asked which plug from its portfolio would be suited for the job. The answer was easy: the 438 PS-C FracSure Express. This product comes standard with a top and bottom slip, has a rubber element package that provides over 1” of engagement with the casing when set, has a patented extrusion limiter incorporated into the lower cone, and comes with ceramic buttons that make it best-in-class for drill-outs.
These distinctive features, neatly packaged in a short OAL plug pre-assembled to the patented PurpleSet™ single-use setting tool, make the FracSure Express stand out from the competition.
The 438 PS-C FracSure Express was the only plug that met all qualification criteria. Every imaged stage indicated that there was no plug slippage, leakage or measurable wall loss around the plug. For the limited number of planned “shutdown stages” deployed with RA tracer, all variants of isotopes were identified in their intended stages, with no traces above or below the plugs. This highlights the superior isolation and ball-and-seat interface benefits provided with the PurpleSeal™. The IOC’s future efforts can now focus on maximizing resource recovery and efficiency with confidence that the stimulation performed as intended.
The study also found PurpleSeal™ performed the best during drill-out as measured by drilling time and wash time. Unprecedented analyses showed that, compared to competitor plugs, the 438 PS-C FracSure Express achieved superior isolation while maintaining greater running and drill-out efficiencies.
