Copperhead Big Bore Flow

Copperhead Big Bore
Flow-through frac plug
APPLICATIONS
■■
Horizontal extended-reach and deep
wells where the use of coiled tubing is
not feasible
■■
Plug-and-perf operations
■■
Multistage fracturing operations
BENEFITS

■■
■■
■■
Minimizes risk and cost of intervention
using frac balls made of ELEMENTAL*
degradable technology
Eliminates milling interventions in wellbore
after fracturing job
Reduces completion costs by eliminating
the need for coiled tubing
Facilitates tubing interventions later if
wellbore cleanup becomes necessary
Minimizes cost of completion and time
at location
Allows for deeper installation of plugs in
all well types
The Copperhead Big Bore* flow-through frac plug is a
cast-iron frac plug with a large flow-through ID that allows
fluids to flow freely from below the plug after stimulation.
It features a high-strength frac ball made of ELEMENTAL
degradable technology, and it is most commonly used to
isolate zones during multistage stimulation. Copperhead
Big Bore frac plugs can be set using wireline, coiled tubing,
or jointed pipe.
Antipreset ring
A proprietary antipreset ring prevents early setting of the plug
during installation.
Higher-pressure fracturing
Once the degradable frac ball is dropped from the surface,
the Copperhead Big Bore frac plug holds pressure up to
10,000 psi [68,947 kPa] for up to 8 hours. The aluminum
alloy frac balls dissolve completely, even in wells with
temperatures as low as 100 degF [37.78 degC].
No milling out
The design of the Copperhead Big Bore frac plug ensures the
flow path remains open after the degradable frac ball has
dissolved, eliminating the need for millout operations.
