INSIDE THE DESIGN
Follow the interaction between the plug, receiver, adapter, sleeve, breakaway shaft and ball.

THE RECEIVER MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
The wedge-and-receiver concept uses controlled deformation to activate sealing and engagement features formed into the receiver itself.
The setting action draws the wedge into the aluminum receiver, expanding it outward toward the casing.
Raised sealing features and wickered engagement surfaces are designed to establish a seal and resist axial movement.
The illustrated arrangement uses relative component movement to retain and release the ball during the setting sequence.
THE FRAC PLUG
The current embodiment is designed around 5.5-inch, 20 lb/ft P-110 casing. Explore the materials, setting arrangement and application considerations behind the design.
