1. Zonal Isolation They are used to block off a section of the wellbore so that operations can be carried out in another section. • Example: isolating a lower zone so you can work safely in the upper zone • Prevents fluid movement between formations
2. Well Testing Magna range plugs help in testing specific zones of the reservoir. • Allows engineers to measure pressure, flow rate, and productivity of a particular zone • Useful in evaluating reservoir performance
3. Hydraulic Fracturing (Fracking) They are used to temporarily isolate sections of the well during multi-stage fracturing. • Each zone is fractured separately • The plug ensures pressure is focused only where needed
4. Acidizing / Stimulation Used to direct treatment fluids (acid, chemicals) into a targeted zone. • Improves efficiency of stimulation • Prevents chemicals from flowing into unwanted zones
5. Temporary or Permanent Well Abandonment They can act as barriers during well suspension or abandonment. • Helps meet safety and regulatory requirements • Prevents leaks or crossflow
Multi-Stage Setting Tool (MSST) is the running tool used to perform the setting operation.
