  • Methods and systems for a dissolvable plug
    Patent number: 12359527
    Abstract: A sliding object positioned on a breakable stem, wherein slips are configured to be engaged, followed by the breakable stem breaking, performing a fracturing procedure above the object, and sliding the object on the stem based on flow back through the frac plug mandrel. The object may be part of the frac plug, and run in the hole along with the frac plug in a single run. This allows the well to be pressure tested, perforated, and re-establish communication without positioning additional tools, sleeves, balls, etc. downhole.

  • Methods and systems for a frac plug
    Patent number: 12180803
    Abstract: A frac plug with lower slips and a lower cone. In embodiments, a lower cone ramp angle is greater than or equal to a cone bevel angle and a slip inner cut angle. This geometry enables the fins of the cone to not interact with the lower slips, which may not break the lower slips as the lower slips move over the cone. Instead, the lower slips may break due to stresses caused by the tendency of the lower slips to expand as they lower slips interact with the ramp of the lower cone.

    Abstract: A frac plug with lower slips and a lower cone. In embodiments, a lower cone ramp angle is greater than or equal to a cone bevel angle and a slip inner cut angle. This geometry enables the fins of the cone to not interact with the lower slips, which may not break the lower slips as the lower slips move over the cone. Instead, the lower slips may break due to stresses caused by the tendency of the lower slips to expand as they lower slips interact with the ramp of the lower cone.
