Lightweight frac plug reduces post-frac intervention time

摘要

Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE), has released its MILLITE lightweight frac plug, which "mills out more smoothly and cleans up better than any other conventional frac plug on the market, cutting costs and helping customers achieve first oil faster," according to a company press release. Constructed completely of an engineered alloy material, the MILLITE plug does not contain any heavy metal or ceramic parts. The plug's wear- and preset-resistant design virtually eliminates preset risks, enabling safe run-in rates in excess of 600 ft/min.
