The manufacturing of Vigor's 4 1/2" Composite Frac Plug has been finished, and it is prepared for shipment to our clients.

A traditional composite plug will contain a mandrel, upper slip/cone, element, and lower slip/cone. The mandrel will provide the structure of the plug that the other components “ride” on and will either have profiles machined into it ...

As the curtains draw on Cippe 2024, Vigor stands with a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for all those who visited our booth and engaged with the Vigor team. It has been an incredible journey filled with fruitful interactions, innovative discussions, and promising partnerships.

Electric wireline service companies use free-point indicator tools to accurately determine the stuck point of a drill pipe or tubing. These free-point indicator tools are highly sensitive electronic devices that measure both stretch and torque movement in a ...

Efficient perforation in vertical wells is greatly impacted by the characteristics of the targeted formation. Factors such as rock type, porosity, permeability, and mineral composition all play a crucial role in determining the success of perforation. For example, highly consolidated limestone formations may require specialized perforation techniques compared to loosely consolidated sandstone formations. Understanding these characteristics is essential for selecting the most suitable perforation strategy to maximize efficiency.

Efficiency in the perforation process is crucial for optimizing wellbore performance, and various factors can influence this efficiency. These factors encompass the type of gun system utilized, the pressure of the formation, and the design of the perforations. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the different elements affecting perforation efficiency is essential for improving overall well productivity.

Body or mandrel:

Mandrel is a main component of a packer that contains the end connections and provides a conduit through the packer. It is subjected to direct exposure to flowing fluid hence its material selection is a very vital decision. Primarily used materials are L80 Type 1, 9CR, 13CR, 9CR1Mo.

Bridge plugs are downhole tools that are set to isolate the lower part of a wellbore. Bridge plugs may be permanent or retrievable, enabling the lower wellbore to be permanently sealed from production or temporarily isolated from a treatment conducted on an ...

Packer is a mechanical device with a packing element installed in a designed receptacle, used for blocking fluid (liquid or gas) communication through the annular space between conduits by sealing off the space between them”.

Oil and gas drilling has become safer and more efficient with advances in downhole tools. One essential tool is the bridge plug. These workhorses can seal off a lower section of a well while oilfield service companies work on upper sections, or they can permanently close spent wells.
