Benefits:

5 to 7 minute per plug mill times using a 5-blade mill, standard time is 20 minutes per plug for the competitor’s plug.

Challenge:

Multi-stage completions utilizing composite frac plugs, wanting to use less water and reduce risk.

Solution:

The entire operation was seamless, and the ROGUE operated perfectly both during the frac and during mill out.

Details:

PetroFrac Oil Tools launched its newest composite frac plug, the ROGUE™, in February 2019 at the Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Conference (HFTC) in the Woodlands. This new plug is the shortest on the market and utilizes a unique flapper isolation device to isolate stages during multistage stimulation.

A major shale operator operating in the Montney formation of Alberta, had a 50 stage, extended reach wellbore that was over 22,900 ft. of total depth (TD). The well, 4.5”, 13.5 lb, TN-125 HC casing, was experiencing issues with competitor’s plugs slipping due to mechanical properties of casing, and wireline tension issues.

Overall, the ROGUE program saw a 25% reduction in pump down volumes as compared to previous plugs. The entire operation was seamless, and the ROGUE operated perfectly both during the frac and during mill out.
