Recedó™ Thunder™ Dissolvable Frac Plug
Product Overview
The Recedó™ Thunder™ Dissolvable Frac Plug is a high-performance stage isolation solution engineered for challenging casing conditions. Built with an extended dissolvable elastomer seal, it delivers reliable pressure integrity through variable casing IDs and harsh environments, then degrades completely to eliminate post-frac intervention.
Key Features
- Extended dissolvable elastomer seal for difficult casing IDs (scale, rust, wear)
- Full degradation into sand-size particles—no cleanout required
- Proven 10,000-psi sealing capability in plug-and-perf applications
- High trip-in speed rating (up to 800 ft/min) for operational efficiency
- Compatible with ball-in-place and surface drop-ball configurations
Applications & Drilling Scenarios
- Plug-and-perf stage isolation in horizontal and unconventional wells
- Cemented liner completions, including high-deviation wells
- Extended-reach laterals requiring dependable sealing before dissolution
Advantages
- Reduced anchoring button count → significantly less wellbore debris
- Lower casing ID penetration → improved casing integrity over the life of well
- Extended sealing segment improves performance in worn or scaled casing
- Shares WLAK configuration with Recedó™ Lightning™ for operational simplicity
Compatibility
- Suitable for 5 1/2" casing weights 20–23 lb/ft
- Compatible with standard wireline setting tools (Baker E4 #10 & #20)
- Works with a wide range of frac fluids and wellbore chemistries
Certifications & Quality Assurance
Manufactured under Frontier Oil Tools’ QA/QC program with material traceability, pressure testing, and controlled dissolution testing for each design envelope.
