SCORPION COMPOSITE FRAC PLUGS
LOWER PUMP DOWN RATES
LOWER WATER COSTS
An operator needed to improve pump-down efficiency.
Nine gave them a custom solution.
Extremely high downhole pressures and static bottom-hole temperatures exceeding 300°F, the Haynesville is a uniquely challenging play. To avoid exceeding the recommended bypass rate, most operators run their composite plugs with a standard 3.57” or 3.60” OD.
Pump-down rates dropped from 14 BBL/minute to 9 BBL/minute, significantly reducing the amount of water needed to reach set depth, which currently cost the operator $.46 per barrel. Plus, the increased diameter reduced the bi-directional pressure across the plug to ensure it could not prematurely set in these conditions.

All plugs successfully ran downhole, set and held during frac. Drillout was also fast and effective, with no drillout issues. All told, the operator was impressed with the results of the Scorpion Composite Plug and are ordering more for their next pad.
