Ensure well integrity, minimize contamination, and reduce costs with PlugPRO’s advanced pump-and-pull simulation and accurate fluid displacement & Contamination Analysis.

Setting a cement plug on the target zone either creates a solid seal to stop fluid movement or provides a kick-off point for sidetrack drilling operations. However, traditional cementing methods often lead to fluid contamination and inefficiencies, resulting in costly remedial work and downtime.

Pegasus Vertex—A LINQX company developed PlugPRO to model displacement hydraulics and simulate fluids contamination during pipe pull out of hole (POOH). By optimizing the pumping schedules, PlugPRO minimizes contamination, ensuring a high-quality cement plug and enhancing wellbore integrity.
