While most frac plugs perform well in round casings, dealing with oval casings presents significant challenges, such as ineffective isolation, increased sticking risk, prolonged operation times, and higher costs.

The August 2024 Oil & Gas News Issue featured an article introducing Vertechs dissolvable frac plug solutions for oval casing conditions. These dissolvable frac plugs boast a smaller OD and specialized isolation and anchoring mechanisms, engineered to address the complexities of irregular casings, their slimmer OD facilitates passage through common restriction sizes typically encountered in deformed casings. This solution enhances operational reliability, reduces operation time, and mitigates risks to achieve more efficient and cost-effective well completion.
