Recedó Lightning™ Dissolvable Frac Plug
Product Overview
The Recedó Lightning™ Dissolvable Frac Plug is a high-performance, metal-to-metal sealing plug engineered for reliable stage isolation up to 10,000 psi. Built on the proven Recedó™ platform, it delivers rapid degradation, minimal debris, and predictable dissolution tailored to the well’s chemistry, temperature, and casing profile.
Key Features
- Metal-to-metal sealing with minimal elastomer for reduced residue
- Customizable dissolution rates—from hours to days
- High-strength anchoring system with reduced debris generation
- Compatible with clean and dirty completion fluids
- Optional ball-in-place or drop-ball configurations
Applications & Drilling Scenarios
- Ideal for plug-and-perf completions requiring fast transition to production
- Suitable for cemented liner operations in high deviation wells
- Extended-reach horizontals requiring predictable, low-debris dissolution
Advantages
- Reduced anchoring button count lowers debris and preserves casing ID
- Tailored metallurgy enables predictable dissolution in any well chemistry
- Maintains high pressure integrity even during low-pressure tests
- Minimal elastomer volume ensures cleaner wellbores and reduced intervention risk
Compatibility
- Fully compatible with standard wireline setting systems (Baker E4 #10/#20)
- Operational in most oil- and water-based frac fluid systems
- Anchors securely across standard and high-strength casing grades
Certifications and Quality Assurance
Manufactured under stringent QA/QC processes with full traceability of dissolvable metallurgical components.
