Ball Drop Dissolvable Frac Plug

Ball Drop Dissolvable Frac Plug – Engineered Dissolution for Efficient Multi-Stage Completions

Shaanxi Hagrien's Ball Drop Dissolvable Frac Plug is built from precision-formulated magnesium amalgams, conveying weight evaluations up to 10,000 PSI (70 MPa) and working temperatures from 25°C to 150°C. With controlled corruption energy custom fitted to your wellbore conditions, our plugs give transitory zonal segregation and total dissolution—leaving a full-bore generation pathway with zero mediation. Supported by a CNAS-accredited HTHP lab, ISO-certified fabricating, and batch-level traceability, you get unsurprising execution from a provider with 7+ a long time of nonstop generation involvement and lead times as brief as 2–4 weeks for standard configurations.

What Makes Our Ball Drop Dissolvable Frac Plug Different?

We get it your challenges. Extended-reach laterals make mechanical mill-outs unsafe. Tall intercession costs eat into extend edges. Flotsam and jetsam can harm costly counterfeit lift systems.

That's why our Ball Drop Dissolvable Frac Plug is built around three center standards: designed materials, unquestionable execution, and fabricating consistency.

Engineered for Real Downhole Conditions

Your well isn't a research facility. Temperature vacillates. Saltiness changes. Liquid chemistry matters.

We plan combination compositions and handle parameters based on your real working environment. This implies you get a plug that breaks up predictably—not as well quick, not as well slow—exactly when you require it to.

Our closed-loop manufacturing system gives you:

• Uniform microstructure across every batch
• Dimensional stability that reduces machining defects
• Repeatable dissolution timelines you can plan around

Pressure Performance You Can Trust

When you drop the ball and pump pressure, you need confidence that the seal will hold.

Our plugs are rated to 10,000 PSI differential pressure. They're validated through mechanical load simulation using FEA and physical testing. Ultrasonic testing catches internal flaws. Hardness mapping ensures uniform strength across mandrels and slips.

You get a plug that stays sealed during fracturing—and vanishes completely afterward.

No Mill-Out. No Debris. No Worries.

Traditional composite plugs require coiled tubing intervention. That means rig time. Personnel risk. Potential wellbore damage.

The product eliminates all of that. Once exposed to wellbore fluids, the magnesium alloy degrades into soluble byproducts. You're left with a clear production path and no metallic fragments to harm your pumps or downhole equipment.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose Hagrien's Dissolvable Plugs?

Material Expertise That Goes Deeper

We don't just machine plugs. We develop the alloys that make them work.

Our facility produces dissolvable magnesium alloy rods and billets up to Ø300 mm. This large-diameter capability, combined with strict process discipline, ensures consistent microstructure and surface quality—reducing your scrap rates and improving tool reliability.

From alloy melting to precision machining, we control every step. That's how we deliver repeatable performance across thousands of plugs.

Built for Extended-Reach and HPHT Wells

In laterals exceeding 10,000 feet, traditional coiled tubing reaches its mechanical limit. Helical buckling becomes a real risk.

Our product solves this. You plug and move on. No need to run intervention tools to the toe. No risk of getting stuck.

In high-pressure, high-temperature environments—where workover costs skyrocket—these plugs deliver zonal isolation without expensive rig mobilization. You save time. You save money. You reduce operational risk.

Designed to Protect Your Production Equipment

Low-liquid velocity wells struggle with debris removal. Metallic fragments from traditional mill-outs can damage artificial lift systems and ESP motors.

Because the Ball Drop Dissolvable Frac Plug degrades completely into solution, there's nothing left behind to harm your equipment. This extends the life of your production systems and reduces unplanned downtime.

How It Works: Simple, Effective, Proven

1. Drop the Ball: A density-optimized ball is dropped downhole and seats on the plug mandrel.
2. Create the Seal: Elastomer seals engage under pressure, isolating the stage for fracturing.
3. Pump Your Treatment: The plug holds differential pressure during stimulation—up to 10,000 PSI.
4. Let It Dissolve: Once exposed to wellbore fluids, the magnesium alloy degrades in a controlled manner based on temperature and salinity.
5. Start Production: The plug vanishes, leaving a full-bore pathway for hydrocarbons.

No coiled tubing. No milling. No intervention.

Verified Performance, Full Traceability

We operate with a verification-first mindset.

Every batch is tested in our CNAS-accredited HTHP laboratory. Coupons undergo solubility consistency tests in varying chloride concentrations. Mechanical testing validates pressure capacity. Ultrasonic testing detects internal flaws.

You receive:

• Certificate of Analysis (COA)
• Certificate of Conformance (COC)
• Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
• Full batch traceability records

This documentation supports your supplier qualification process and ensures audit readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does water salinity affect dissolution?

A: Higher salinity—especially chloride concentration—speeds up the galvanic corrosion process. This shortens dissolution time. For low-salinity environments, we offer custom alloy formulations that adjust the degradation rate to match your timeline.

Q: Can the plug work in low-temperature wells?

A: Yes. We provide specialized low-temperature alloys designed to degrade efficiently even at 25°C to 40°C. The dissolution kinetics are tuned to your specific well conditions.

Q: What if the ball doesn't seat properly?

A: Our balls are engineered with specific gravity offsets to ensure positive seating. If a leak is detected, the design allows for a secondary ball drop or slight pressure adjustments to achieve a proper seal.

Q: Is it compatible with acidizing fluids?

A: Absolutely. The product withstands initial acid washes. High-concentration HCl will accelerate degradation once the frac job is complete, which is often desirable for faster cleanout.

Q: What's the shelf life?

A: With proper storage—dry conditions, sealed packaging—our plugs maintain performance characteristics for up to 12 months. We provide storage guidelines with every shipment.

Q: How do you ensure quality consistency across batches?

A: We control the entire manufacturing chain. From alloy melting to extrusion and machining, every process is monitored and documented. Hardness mapping, differential pressure validation, and residue analysis ensure that every plug meets your specifications.
