The Scorpion comes from Nine’s robust line of composite plugs designed with extreme durability and outstanding drill ability for the longest laterals in America. “We never had a doubt the Scorpion would sell. The short, durable design allows for exceptional isolation and faster millouts, setting this product apart from every competitor,” said Completions Tools President Nick Pottmeyer.

With a proven track record of success, the Scorpion offers a variety of casing sizes ranging from 3.5 to 6.0 inches, giving operators a full spectrum of well completion tool options that fit their needs for effective zonal isolation downhole. Known for its superior design and efficiency, the Scorpion Plug utilizes a patented slip design that combines extreme reliability with industry-leading drill-out times. The remaining components feature highly engineered molded and filament materials resulting in an exceptionally high-quality frac plug. “Operators can drill them out in a single run without having to change the bit, saving substantial time and equipment wear—and ultimately increasing profitability,” Holley said. “We’re really proud of this product, and more importantly, we’re honored to be part of the significant impact this technology will continue to have on the oil and gas industry.”

Nine prides itself on customer feedback and constant innovation to maintain and expand its competitive edge. “Our success stems from a culture driven by performance and flawless well site execution,” Pottmeyer said.
