BOTTOM-SET PLUGS DON’T WORK, BUT DISSOLVABLES STILL CAN.
Many operators tried dissolvables early on and walked away after disappointing results. But dissolvables weren’t the problem. The design was.
Bottom-set plugs removed the mandrel and shortened the tool to reduce magnesium cost. That compromise sacrificed the structure needed to maintain reliable isolation.
Now that dissolvable materials are more affordable, operators no longer have to accept that compromise. Top-set fixes the problem.

We’re looking for a Business Intelligence Analyst who knows how to turn data into actionable insight. You’ll be working across teams to analyze performance, build reporting, and support real operational decisions — not just dashboards. If you’re comfortable digging into data and delivering answers that actually impact the business, take a look.

BOTTOM-SET PLUGS DON’T WORK & THE DATA IS NOW PROVING IT!
For years, operators suspected something wasn’t right with bottom-set dissolvables. The field experience was already telling the story. Now the data is starting to confirm it.
Recent reports from DarkVision and other studies suggest bottom-set dissolvable plugs can fail at rates approaching 40%. Isolation failures erase any savings from a cheaper plug.
The data confirms what the field has already experienced - bottom-set designs fail to deliver reliable isolation.

Next week, we are back in beautiful Lake Louise for the SPE Drilling & Completions Workshop. Stop by Booth 5 to connect with our team and learn how our integrated plug-and-perf systems are helping operators improve efficiency, reliability, and performance across every stage.
BOTTOM-SET PLUGS DON’T WORK�BECAUSE PLUGS NEED LENGTH AND MASS.
Successful plugs aren’t tiny. They require enough length and mass to maintain compression on the sealing element and hold slips engaged under load. Composite plugs have always followed this principle. That’s why they are longer and built around a mandrel.
Bottom-set dissolvables were designed to be as short as possible to reduce magnesium cost. That design decision removed the structure needed to maintain reliable isolation.
Short plugs may save material. But they don’t hold pressure.
