ReacXion Slim-X

The Slim-X design combines expandable liner hanger and conventional pump down plug technologies. The design utilizes casing as a supporting member, transferring the load from the ball to the ball seat, through the slips and onto the casing. Pressure exerted on the ball during stimulation completes the setting operation while continuing to reinforce the integrity of the tool’s seal, forming a tighter seal as pressure is increased. The tool contains only one quarter the material of standard pump down plugs. The load transfer technology allows the minimalistic design to be feasible. After use, the plug will dissolve in standard chloride solution or even in very low-salinity fresh water, depending on plug material.

Dissolvable

Load Transfer Technology

The ReacXion Slim Extended Range Dissolvable frac plug provides the performance of Steelhaus’ standard ReacXion Complete plugs at a smaller running OD, allowing the plug to fit through tight restrictions without compromising pressure or temperature integrity.
Rated up to 10,000 psi [69 MPa]
Rated up to 285 degF [140 degC]
Small OD to fit through restrictions

Why steelhaus products vs other brands

APPLICATIONS & USE CASES

ReacXion Slim-X high-expansion fully dissolvable frac plugs are designed for a variety of applications, making them a versatile tool in the field. They are particularly well-suited for plug-and-perf completions, where their ability to fit through tight restrictions without compromising performance is invaluable.

In refracturing operations, these plugs provide an efficient solution, enabling operators to re-enter and stimulate previously fractured zones with ease. The ReacXion Slim-X is also ideal for well completions with casing restrictions or deformations, where traditional plugs might struggle. By improving plug-and-perf completions and enabling fracturing below casing patches, these dissolvable frac plugs offer a reliable and adaptable solution for a wide range of operations.

SLEEVE OPERATION AND ACTIVATION

The operation of the shifting tool is designed to be a fracture-in-place solution, eliminating the need for additional isolation or related service tools. This innovative tool operates by creating a hydraulic differential that extends three sets of paired keys. These keys latch onto the inner sleeve, creating the necessary tension to shift the sleeve.

One of the standout features of this system is its redundancy; the sleeve is designed to shift even if only a single key latches. This ensures maximum reliability and minimizes the risk of operational failure. 

As the CT string loses tension, it provides a clear indication that the sleeve has shifted. This allows the tool to be pulled through the sleeve cavity, completing the operation efficiently and effectively.

BENEFITS OVER TRADITIONAL FRAC PLUGS

Dissolvable frac plugs, such as the ReacXion Slim-X, offer several compelling benefits over traditional frac plugs. One of the primary advantages is the elimination of milling and post-frac cleanout operations. This not only reduces the risk of well intervention but also leads to significant cost savings, making the overall process more efficient.

In refracturing operations, dissolvable frac plugs provide a more streamlined and cost-effective solution. Their ability to dissolve and be easily removed from the well simplifies the process, reducing downtime and operational complexity. Additionally, dissolvable frac plugs offer improved zonal isolation, ensuring that each zone is effectively isolated during the fracturing process. The reduced risk of premature setting further enhances their reliability, making them an ideal choice for complex well completions.

COMPARISON TO OTHER DISSOLVABLE FRAC PLUG SOLUTIONS

ReacXion Slim-X high-expansion fully dissolvable frac plugs stand out from other dissolvable frac plug solutions due to several key advantages. One of the primary differentiators is the proprietary field-proven coating that protects the plug and prevents early dissolution. This coating allows the plug to be placed in the well several hours before isolation is required, providing greater operational flexibility.

Additionally, the load-transfer technology integrated into the frac plug design is a significant advantage. By using the casing as a supporting member, the load is efficiently transferred from the ball to the ball seat, through the slips, and onto the casing. This mechanism ensures a tighter seal as pressure is increased, enhancing the integrity of the seal during stimulation. The result is a dissolvable frac plug that not only performs reliably but also adapts to the dynamic conditions of the well, making it a superior choice compared to other solutions on the market.
