  • Patent number: 9404337
    Abstract: A caged ball fractionation plug for use in a wellbore with a crown engagement having a tapered nose cone and various load ring, slips, slip backups, lubricating spacers and seals can all be slidably engaged to the mandrel. Upon applying pressure, the slidably engaged components can be compressed against each other and the plug can expand and bite into the casing of the wellbore. The caged ball portion of the plug seats the ball internal to the plug to create two separate fractionation zones in the wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20150354313
    Abstract: A plug for hydraulic fractionation can have a first driver; a first pressure arm rotatably connected to the first driver; a second driver; a second pressure arm rotatably connected to the second driver; and a first slip rotatably connected to the first pressure arm and rotatably connected to the second pressure arm. The frac plug can also have a third driver; a third pressure arm rotatably connected to the third driver; a fourth driver; a fourth pressure arm rotatably connected to the fourth driver; and a second slip rotatably connected to the third pressure arm and rotatably connected to the fourth pressure arm. Preferably at least a portion of the frac plug is a material formulated to decompose in one to twenty-four hours under typical wellbore conditions. Moreover, a decomposable slip is provided for use with any frac plug known to one of ordinary skill.
