7. Nippleless Plugs

8. Mirage® Disappearing Plug
Applications in -
• Horizontal wells where plug installation
after completion is undesirable
• Setting production and isolation
packers
• Testing tubing
• Wells where slickline or CTU
intervention after completion is
undesirable
8

9. Mirage® Disappearing Plug and Autofill Device
How it
Hydraulic-Set Packer Autofill Device Multi-cycle Mirage® Plug
works:
1. Autofill and Mirage plug are run to depth below a
hydraulic set packer. The tubing is filled through the
Autofill when running downhole.
2. Multiple pressure cycles against the Mirage plug
allows closure of Autofill, tubing test and setting of
packer.
3. Final pressure cycle dissolves Mirage plug matrix
for full bore access. 9

10

11. Benefits of Design
• Requires no landing nipple for broader
applications
• Seals against pipe ID which can eliminate
restrictive sealing bores in tubing string
• Retained in set position by internal slips
providing same reliability as production packers

lowering installation and retrieval costs
11

12. Benefits of Design
 Can be installed and retrieved through restrictions
 Plug is run in closed position increasing reliability
 Can be run with DPU®, Baker setting tool, or
hydraulic setting tool
 Run on slickline, braided line, coiled tubing, or
electric line
 Soft set for sensitive equipment

26. Accessory Items

27. Flow Couplings
Flow couplings in the tubing are an important part of life-of-the-well
completion planning. Flow couplings have a wall thickness greater
than the corresponding tubing to inhibit erosion caused by flow
turbulence. Flow couplings should be installed above and below
landing nipples or other restrictions that may cause turbulent flow.
Applications
 To help inhibit erosion caused by flow turbulence
 Installed above and below landing nipples, tubing
retrievable safety valves, or any other restriction that may
cause turbulent flow
Benefits
 Helps extend the life of the well completion
27

28. Blast Joints
Blast joints are installed in the tubing opposite
perforations in wells with two or more zones. The
blast joints are heavy walled and are sized to help
prevent tubing damage from the jetting action of the
zone perforations. Blast joints should be installed
above and below landing nipples or other restrictions
that may cause turbulent flow.
Applications
 To help inhibit erosion caused by jetting action
near perforations
 Installed opposite perforations in one or more
zones
Benefits
 Helps extend the life of the well completion
