FAQ
Whether you're running a high-pressure frac job or prepping for a cleanout, knowing which tool fits your operation is key. Our most frequently asked questions below cover everything from mechanical packers to composite bridge plugs—so you can make confident, informed decisions.

Retrievable bridge plugs are designed for temporary wellbore isolation and can be removed once the job is complete, while permanent bridge plugs are set to stay downhole indefinitely and typically must be drilled out. Choosing between the two depends on your application, whether it’s fracturing, testing, or well abandonment.
Hydraulic setting tools are ideal when tubing or coiled tubing is available and offer more flexibility in high-angle or horizontal wells. Wireline setting tools are preferred for vertical wells or when rig time and intervention costs need to be minimized.
Composite bridge plugs are built from drillable materials like phenolic resins, fiberglass, and cast iron inserts, making them easy to mill out after zonal isolation or cementing jobs. They’re lightweight, cost-effective, and widely used in plug-and-perf operations.
A casing scraper removes scale, cement, and debris from the inside of casing to ensure proper sealing and setting of packers, plugs, or cement retainers. It’s essential for cleanout runs and enhances the reliability of completion tools.
A tubing anchor catcher secures the tubing in tension or compression to prevent tubing movement during pump strokes, which helps increase pump efficiency and reduces wear on rods and tubing—making it vital in rod pump and ESP systems.
