Description

The Dissolvable Pump-Out Plug from Shale Oil Tools is designed to be run below production packers or tubing to provide well control while installing ESPs, gas lift or other production equipment.  The plug core is expended with pressure and dissolves in wellbore fluid, leaving a clean wellbore for production activities. The plugs pump out predictably and, as opposed to aluminum POPs, dissolve, leaving a restriction-free wellbore.

The DPOP is a superior alternative to ceramic disk subs that are vulnerable during rig handling and often burst at unpredictable pressures or require a slick line intervention to break the disks.  In all cases, these disks produce debris that frequently interfere with your production and surface equipment.

The plug core's dissolution is based on time, temperature and salinity (chloride content) and occurs volumetrically based on the exposed surface area.  Plug metallurgy can be dialed in to dissolve as slowly or quickly as you like - giving you confidence that your well flow is controlled for the duration of your operation.

Features

  • Rated 10,000psi from below and up to 300⁰F BHT
  • Durable design takes the beating of rig handling
  • Highly configurable to suit your application:
    • Any tubing size
    • Adjustable shearing pressures (brass or steel screws)
    • Threaded bottom for in-line deployment
    • Solid or pump through (with ball)
    • Pump out or dissolve in place
    • Guide shoe/ball drop
    • Metallurgies for any downhole environment

Benefits

  • Eliminates slickline run required to break disks - saving you valuable time and treasure
  • Predictable pump out pressures
  • Integrates seamlessly with your existing BHA
  • Free of disk parts and debris that damage your production equipment
  • Leaves a clean wellbore
  • Provides a wireline entry guide for production tubing

Business Driver

  • Improve time to production by accelerating and reducing NPT risk of production equipment installation

Solution

  • Run the Dissolvable Pump out Plug from Shale Oil tools instead of disk subs or traditional aluminum pump out plugs

Technical Challenges

  • Tubing must be isolated with well control device at the bottom of tubing or below the production packer
  • Disk subs do not rupture reliably or require a slick line run to ‘knock out’ the disks
  • Disk debris often damages the choke or other production equipment
  • Traditional aluminium pump out plugs leave a restriction in the wellbore

Value

  • Initiate production faster and increase productivity of operations (fewer logistics headaches, quickly move onto the next pad) by eliminating slick line intervention to break isolation disks
  • Reduce NPT from repair operations due to equipment damage from disk debris
