Composite Frac Plug
Composite Frac Plug
Description
Vigor composite frac plug utilizes a unique combination of composite components to provide a reliable, durable, and cost-effective design for temporary zone isolation during stage fracs in both vertical and horizontal wells. The short, lightweight plugs can withstand high pressures and temperatures, yet drill out rapidly to save rig time between stages.
Vigor composite frac plug are rigorously tested to validate anchoring, sealing and pressure integrity per ISO and API specifications. They are rated to reliably hold up to 10,000 psi and 300°F.
Features
● Available in 3-1/2",4", 4-1/2", 5", 5-1/2" & 7".
● Consistent drill times of 5-8 minutes or less.
● Ultron™ composite frac plugs are constructed from molded or machined composites, with composite slips, ensuring fast drilling and high reliability.
● The setting sleeve and shear adapter are designed to run on any wireline setting tool or tubing-run hydraulic setting tool, with Baker #10, and Baker #20 connections.
● Can be drilled out using conventional rigid tubing or coiled tubing.
Working Principles
The composite frac plug is run into the wellbore and actuated via hydraulic pressure or mechanical forces. This compresses the slip and cone assembly, forcing the slips outward to bite into the casing wall. The elastomeric seal element is also compressed to create a tight seal.
Differential pressure across the plug further enhances the gripping force and sealing performance. The proprietary backup systems prevent extrusion or by-pass. After fracturing, the plugs are milled out from top to bottom using a rotational milling BHA. The composite materials quickly disintegrate into small cuttings that can circulate easily out of the hole.
Benefits and Applications

Features Of Composite Materials
High Strength and Stiffness: Composite materials have a very high strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness-to-weight ratio, enabling them to withstand high pressure and temperature.
Corrosion Resistance: Composite materials are resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for harsh environments such as oil and gas wells.
Lightweight: Composite materials are lighter than traditional metallic materials, making them easier to transport and install.
Tailorability: Composite materials can be tailored to meet the specific dimensional, shape, and performance requirements of a particular application.
Electrical Insulation: Certain composite materials possess electrical insulation properties, making them suitable for applications where electrical insulation is required.
FAQ
Q: How does the plug achieve a reliable seal?
A: The elastomeric element provides a metal-to-metal seal when compressed. Backup systems prevent extrusion or by-pass even at 10,000+ psi pressures.
Q: How long does it take to mill out the plugs?
A: Our low-profile design typically mills out in 5-8 minutes, around 4x faster than cast iron or alloy plugs. This provides significant time savings.
Q: Are these suitable for horizontal wellbores?
A: Yes, our composite plugs are commonly used for multistage fracturing in horizontal wells. The lightweight design reduces friction.
