HOUMA, Louisiana – CORTEC says that it has launched its new Wellhead Plug Catcher, which is installed directly between the wellhead and the production choke.
The company noted that fracking and plug parts returning to the surface is a common problem in wells. It says that the user-friendly Wellhead Plug Catcher is installed upstream of a wellhead production choke, and features an internal screen that is utilized to filter out large debris to prevent it from clogging or damaging a choke. This is said to improve choke life and performance, improving operator revenues.
CORTEC says that the device has been evaluated and sized by its engineering team to accommodate substantial plugging within the screen and still provide full capacity flow. The screen design has been field-proven and designed through consultation with field operators.
