V. Cementing Tools - j. Single Wiper Plug with Dart Catcher Option
On many liner jobs the volume of the displacement of the workstring far exceeds that of the liner. The operator is far more concerned about maintaining a lead and follow barrier within the workstring, but not in the liner because the volume in the liner is so small a portion of the total displacement. Allamon Tool Company has developed the Single Wiper Plugs with Dart Catcher Option just for this application. A lead dart is dropped ahead of the cement and then a follow dart is dropped following the cement slurry. The first dart is caught by the single wiper plug and displacement continues through the wiper plug until the second dart releases the wiper plug and displacement is continued until the wiper plug bumps on the landing collar. This tool is mostly constructed of Allamon produced composite material which enhances plug reliability and drill-out.
Features/Benefits
  • Dual darts for cement isolation in workstring
  • Mostly composite for drill-out
  • Latch down nose
