Product Introduction

 

The One-Trip Openhole Cement Plug is a integrated downhole tool designed to simplify openhole isolation for well abandonment, sidetracking, and formation isolation. Unlike conventional methods that require stacking short-length cement plugs (with high contamination risks and long setting times), our one-trip solution combines a plug-setting disconnect tool, sacrificial tailpipe, and optimized cement slurry system to deliver a single, undisturbed cement plug in one run.

 

Product Features

 

1.Single-Trip Operation : Complete cement plug placement in one run, eliminating the need for multiple trips in and out of the wellbore. Proven to save up to 20+ hours of rig time compared to conventional stacked cement plug methods, significantly reducing operational costs and downtime.

2.Superior Isolation Performance : Integrates advanced sealing technology and optimized cement slurry design to minimize contamination, ensuring a tight, long-lasting seal. Effectively isolates fluid or gas zones, preventing migration and safeguarding well integrity in compliance with industry standards.

3.Versatile Well Compatibility : Suitable for vertical, deviated, and horizontal openhole sections, as well as a wide range of hole sizes. Adaptable to loss circulation zones, collapsed boreholes, and high-inclination wells (>90°), supporting both abandonment and sidetracking applications.

4.Enhanced Operational Safety : Equipped with a reliable disconnect mechanism to avoid stuck strings and minimize downhole risks. The integrated design reduces human error and operational complexity, ensuring flawless execution even in remote or harsh drilling environments.

5.Time-Saving Design : Eliminates the need for waiting on cement (WOC) curing time in sidetracking operations, allowing drilling to resume immediately after plug placement. Some applications have saved up to 10 days of rig time compared to traditional cement plug sidetracking methods.

 

Working Principle

 

- The tool is run in hole on drill pipe, tubing, or coil tubing to the target openhole section.

- The inflatable packer or anchoring mechanism is activated to secure the tool in place, providing a firm base for the cement plug (critical for preventing plug failure).

- Cement slurry is pumped through the tool, with mechanical fluid separation technology minimizing intermixing with wellbore fluids.

- The disconnect mechanism is activated (via wireless or mechanical means) to safely separate the drill string from the cement plug, avoiding contamination and stuck pipe risks.

- For sidetracking applications, drilling can commence immediately after disconnect; for abandonment, the plug provides long-term isolation of the target zone.

 

Quality & Certification

 

We adhere to strict quality control standards throughout the design, manufacturing, and testing process to ensure our One-Trip Openhole Cement Plug meets or exceeds industry requirements. All products are certified to ISO 9001, CE, and API 10D standards, with 100% factory testing (pressure testing, thread inspection, and material analysis) before shipment.

Our manufacturing facility is equipped with advanced machining equipment and a professional R&D team, enabling us to customize solutions for specific well conditions and customer requirements.

 

Application Scenarios

 

Our One-Trip Openhole Cement Plug is widely used in oil and gas drilling operations worldwide, addressing key challenges in various scenarios :

- Well Abandonment (P&A) : Permanently isolates openhole sections (up to 1015m+), complying with regulatory requirements for isolating fluid/gas zones and valuable mineral deposits. Ideal for conventional and unconventional wells in regions like South America, North America, and the Middle East.

- Openhole Sidetracking : Provides a competent base for sidetracking operations, especially in loss circulation zones or when bypassing stuck BHA (Bottom Hole Assembly) or collapsed wellbores. Enables quick kickoff and smooth transition to new wellbore trajectories.

- Loss Circulation Control : Works with inflatable bridge plugs to stop total or partial losses, allowing operators to regain wellbore returns and complete drilling operations efficiently.

- Formation Isolation : Isolates depleted zones, water zones, or high-pressure gas zones during well completion or workover operations, ensuring safe and efficient production.

 

FAQ

 

Q: Can the One-Trip Openhole Cement Plug be used in high-inclination or horizontal wells?

A: Yes, our plug is designed to work in vertical, deviated, and horizontal wells (>90°), with a slim, reinforced design that ensures passability through irregular wellbore sections.

 

Q: How much rig time can we save compared to conventional methods?

A: Typical savings range from 20+ hours per operation, with some sidetracking applications saving up to 10 days compared to traditional cement plug methods.

 

Q: Do you provide customization for special hole sizes or well conditions?

A: Yes, we offer full OEM/ODM customization, including hole size adaptation, material upgrades (corrosion-resistant), and disconnect mechanism optimization to meet your specific well requirements.

 

Q: What is the lead time for delivery?

A: Standard lead time is 7-15 working days; customized orders take 20-30 working days, depending on the complexity of the requirements.

 

Q: Does the product comply with international regulatory standards?

A: Yes, our One-Trip Openhole Cement Plug complies with API 10D, ISO 9001, and CE standards, as well as regulatory requirements for well abandonment (e.g., eCFR § 3172.12).
