In the quest to build a better mousetrap, several companies have introduced new technology designed to reduce the cost, reduce the material, and increase the efficiency of the overall plug and perf operation. While these designs have provided some increase in performance, they’ve introduced issues not seen with a traditional design.

Starting in 2008, the US daily oil production started to increase rapidly, averaging an increase of 657,000 bbls/day (almost 240 MMbbls per year) each year through 2019. This increase was done on the back of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracing.

Over the past 3 years I have published several articles about composite plugs and the plug & perf completion operation. I took the time to combine these posts, along with additional information, into an ebook that is available for download now.

Plug & Perf has become the most widely used completion used in North America. Understanding the technology and the issues that can arrive will help completion engineers choose the best product for their well.

Many operators have chosen to run fully dissolvable plugs in the furthest reaches of their lateral because milling becomes in efficient. With the Rubicon RzrFRAC there is a new option for solving this problem.

Toe valves are a significant part of the completion systems used in North America. Sometimes the rupture disk tolerances, casing test pressures, and surface equipment ratings make single open toe valves difficult to set up. The Rubicon HydraSTART MTV can help with these issues.

Advanced toe valve technologies can take your completion to the next level. A basic understanding of how they work can help you to make an informed decision about the tools in your well.

The benefits of the RzrFRAC Composite Frac Plug have proved themselves across all of our customers. This articles highlights a few of these real successes.

Rubicon Oilfield International introduces the RzrFRAC Composite Frac Plug. Learn how this new technology can change your plug & perf completion.

In 1947 R.C. Baker filed the patent for a hydraulically set packer. In the 70 years since, packers have maintained the same form even though the applications have changed dramatically. The industry needs a fit for purpose solution that is designed with the current application in mind.

Operators are rushing to increase the length of the laterals in their horizontal wells. The result is more stages and associated completion hardware. The industry needs new technology that significantly reduces the amount of completion debris left after the frac. Rubicon has the answer.
