Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What bit types are recommended for mill-out?
A: Tri-cone and junk mill bits work effectively on the composite chassis and powder metal buttons.
Q: What is the average time to drill out one plug?
A: Field data shows an average drill-out time of 5 minutes per plug.
Q: Does the plug produce large cuttings during mill-out?
A: No. It breaks into small, lightweight fragments that easily circulate out, reducing cleanout time.
Q: Can this plug be used in high-temperature wells?
A: Yes, it is rated for bottomhole temperatures up to 150°F (66°C).
Q: Is this product compatible with all coiled tubing units?
A: Yes. It is fully compatible with standard CT units used in horizontal completions.
