Why use a QUIKDrill™ Composite Bridge Plug instead of a cast iron drillable bridge plug?
QUIKDrill™ Composite Bridge Plugs allow rigless, underbalanced installation, isolation of multiple zones, and underbalanced removal of multiple bridge plugs without the use of kill-weight fluids, while minimizing formation damage. The average drillout time for a cast iron bridge plug is approximately 1 hour, as opposed to 20 minutes for a QUIK Drill composite plug. When multiple cast iron plugs are used in a single wellbore, the drillout time begins to grow exponentially. On the other hand, drillout time for each QUIK Drill plug in a single wellbore does not increase. As a result, using QUIK Drill composite plugs can reduce rig time and lower operating cost. Another advantage of QUIK Drill Composite Bridge Plugs is their light weight, which makes it easy to circulate pieces of the composite material back to surface in lightweight, non-damaging drilling fluids. Cast iron plugs require heavy-weight fluids to remove the pieces from the wellbore. The heavy-weight fluid is not only more exp
