PSP Setting Tool Operations Description 1.7
PSPTM Systems
PSP is a high-expansion compression set plug

intended to pass through restrictions and set in
tubulars whose ID can be up to 3 ½ times the run-in
diameter of the plug. PSP setting operations
combined with "Healing System" eliminate problems
Setting & Releasing
that are inherent with extended service lives in high-
expansion compression set plugs. Mechanism
PSP's stout bi-directional anchor fixes the plug in

place until it is intentionally released and pushed to
bottom. Bi-Directional
Anchor
PSP's Healing System (patent pending) abates the
deleterious effects of flow-cut seals, anelastic creep,
elastomeric stress relaxation and adverse effects of
thermal transients related to shut-in cycles and zonal
treatment cycles. Healing System maintains Anti Extrusion Petal
hydraulic sealing function in compression set plugs. System
Healing System assures extended PSP service life.
PSP has more seal-to-casing engagement length than

any other high-expansion plug with equal run-in
diameter.
Co mposite Elastomeric
PSP's composite seal system combined with its anti- Seal System
extrusion system provides hydraulic sealing at high
expansion ratios. Transient bursts of fluid past seals
(caused by spikes of differential pressure greater than
the plugs service rating) can flow-cut seals. The
combination of PSP's composite high tech seals and
its Healing System re-establish seal integrity.
Healing System is not without limits. Excessive or Anti Extrusion Petal
prolonged bursts of flow can cause irreparable System
damage and permanent loss of hydraulic seal.
PSP is available in two basic models, i.e., standard

and releasable. The Standard Model is a permanent
plug. The Releasable Model can be unset via an HPI
release tool. Once released, the PSP falls to bottom Healing System TM
or is pushed to bottom.
PSP can be run on electric line, slick line and tubing.
PSP and Healing System are trademarks of HPI.

Multiple patents are pending on PSP technologies

2.13” PSP Setting Tool Operation Description
The PSP is a high-expansion compression-set thru-tubing plug intended to pass

thru small ID restrictions and deploy in larger ID tubulars up to three (3) times its
original run-in diameter. The PSP System consists of a plug and a unique setting
tool to deploy the plug. Due to the high expansion rate, the setting tool required
by the 2.13” PSP must provide 9’ of stroke and deliver a shear off load of 18,000
pounds force.
The Plug consist of a bi-directional anchor, metal anti-extrusion petals,

compression set packing elements, ratcheting lock ring mechanism, center
mandrel, tension bolt, and its patented Bellville “healing system”. The PSP is
attached to a piston inside the setting tool via the center mandrel. All of the plug
components slide over this mandrel. During the setting operation, the mandrel is
drawn into the interior of the setting tool and the plug components are
compressed and moved down the mandrel against the bull plug.
The PSP Setting Tool functions in two stages to generate the force necessary to
effectively set the anchors, compress the packing elements, and sever the
tension bolt allowing the setting tool to release from the plug. The Pressure
Housing of the setting tool houses an atmospheric chamber. The first stage
utilizes the bottom hole pressure applied to the lower end of a piston working
against this atmospheric chamber. The moving piston is driven up into the
chamber drawing the plug mandrel into the tool causing the outer components of
the plug to be compressed against the bull plug attached to the bottom of the
mandrel. The second stage utilizes an explosive gas generator to complete the
setting cycle by generating the higher pressure necessary to achieve a load of
18,000#. When the setting load is reached, the tension bolt severs, releasing the
set plug from the setting tool.

HIP THRU-TUBING BRIDGE PLUGS
HPI makes a wide assortment of thru-tubing bridge plugs. Generally referred to as

"umbrella" or "petal-basket" plugs, they are now more commonly referred to as "HIP
Plugs".
HIP Plugs provide a cost effective means to install a permanent, but drillable plug without
the use of a rig. Their small running diameter will pass through most tubing restrictions and
set in larger casing sizes. HIP Plugs do not require the addition of a setting tool to operate.
This provides a shorter tool string which requires less maintenance than other thru-tubing
plugs.
The HIP Plug functions as a platform upon which a cement (or plastic) plug can be built.
The height of the cement plug will determine the differential pressure capability.
FEATURES COMMON TO ALL HIP PLUGS
• Small diameter running tool

• Case hardened slips
• Expanding packer unit
• Vent valve allows pressure equalization across plug (vented models)
• Vent valve is easily and reliably closed (vented models)
• Compatible with all standard wireline systems
OPTIONAL FEATURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
• Corrosive Service (H2S and/or CO2)

• Conversion to hydraulic set where explosive set is not recommended
• Conversion to "tattle-tail" vent valve
• Special Lengths (shorter or longer)
• Sizing for Non-API pipe weights
• Timed Vent Valve
• Bow Spring Centralizer

SPECIAL PLUGS
HPI has consulted on hundreds of plugback operations. Frequently, circumstances require special
equipment to be fabricated to solve a specific problem. HPI has the expertise to determine if special
equipment is warranted and the manufacturing and service capability to deliver custom equipment in
a timely manner, often in as little as 24 hours. Several "special" application case histories are
described below.
PROBLEM: On a P&A project, the customer was unable to place a cement plug in an open hole
due to a thief zone. Operations were further complicated because of the hole
sloughing each time the work string was pulled and boulders were partially restricting
the I.D.
SOLUTION: HPI manufactured a custom plug to run through 2-7/8" drill pipe and set in a 17"
open hole. A ten foot cement plug was dump bailed as a base above the suspected
thief zone. The customer was then able to pump the remainder of the required
cement to P&A the well.
PROBLEM: The customer needed to set a plug in 2-3/8 tubing. However, due to an I.D.
restriction and corkscrewed tubing, the customer was unable to get down with a
conventional magna-range style bridge plug and setting tool.
SOLUTION: HPI manufactured a custom plug with a four (4) foot overall length and 1-3/8"
running diameter. "Flex" Bailer Segments were used to reduce the stiff length of the
cement bailers.
PROBLEM: The customer needed to set a bridge plug in the lower portion of a gravel pack
assembly. A tubing restriction precluded the use of a cast iron bridge plug and the
GP assembly had multiple I.D.'s.
SOLUTION: HPI fabricated a custom plug where each set of slips was sized to anchor in a
different I.D. corresponding to its position in the gravel pack.
PROBLEM: A liner top prevented wireline entry with plugback equipment.
SOLUTION: HPI manufactured a HIP Plug and a bailer system with bow spring centralizers on
the bottom to lift the tool string to the center of the casing and into the liner top.

Ultra Plug* for High Expansion Service
The Ultra Plug Product Line is a new generation of wide range bridge
plug. Ultra Plugs provide equal or greater setting ranges than all other
conventional “magna-range” or wide range bridge plugs while
providing higher differential pressure ratings. The RavelTM Slip
System assures uniform slip extension and circumferential spacing.
Additionally, the RavelTM Slip System retains the slips so that they do
not misalign during slip extension to the casing ID. Controlled
deployment of the slips guarantees centralization thus ensuring
maximum slip extension. The Ultra Plug has an improved anti-
Bi-Directional extrusion system that enables it to withstand higher differential
Anchor/Ravel pressures. The Ultra Plug is available in packer and cement retainer

FLEX BAILER SYSTEM
HPI "FLEX" BAILER SYSTEM
The HPI Flex Bailer System makes it possible to

complete plugback operations in corkscrewed or
doglegged tubing where conventional bailers will not
work. Flexible segments are placed between bailer
sections to reduce the length of the stiff sections. What
was once a stiff 40' bailer can now be flexible every 10',
thereby allowing longer overall bailer string length to
pass through doglegs. The project can now be
completed with fewer runs.

NON-EXPLOSIVE PLUGBACK OPERATION
High Pressure Integrity, Inc. has developed a system of ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC tools

which allow plugback operations to be performed without using explosives. This
technology provides the operator with a higher degree of safety by removing the hazards
and delays associated with explosives. It is no longer necessary to interrupt radio
communications, sea and air transportation, and cathodic protection system when
conducting plugback jobs. These systems are also used where elevated wellbore
temperatures and/or pressures can cause reliability problems with explosive systems.
ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC SETTING TOOL

(EHST)
The EHST allows the setting of HIP Thru-Tubing

bridge plugs used in typical plugback operations.
In general, the HIP plug is held in the setting
assembly by an expanded collet. By applying
current to the EHST from the surface, a solenoid
is activated causing the collet to retract and
releasing the plug.

TECHNICAL DATA
24 HOUR BOND STRENGTH
BHT°F
ANCHORING STRENGTH
The anchoring strength between plug and casing depends on effective bond strength and plug
length. Effective bond strength is the actual bond strength between a dump bailed plug and the
casing. Dump bailed plugs are an accumulation of multiple dump runs. During a dumping
operation, the slurry is contaminated as it drops through multiple feet of wellbore fluid. The equation
below takes this into consideration. The anchoring strength of a plug in service can be determined
as shown:
Anchor Strength (∆P) = 10 x Ts x l

OD
Where:
∆P = Anchoring strength, psi
Ts = Bond strength from figure, psi
l = Length of plug, feet
OD = OD of casing, inches
41doc 4.3
TECHNICAL DATA
PLUG LENGTH
A cement plug must provide two basic functions:
1. Provide a hydraulic seal

2. Anchor the seal in place
With regard to a long term hydraulic seal, experience has shown that the plug length must exceed 30 casing
diameters (casing OD). Shorter plugs can remain anchored while their hydraulic seal slowly breaks down
during the production life of the well.
For a given differential pressure, the length of a dump bailed plug must meet both of the following criteria:
a.* R+ft, $ 2.5 x OD
and
b. R+ft, $ .10 x ªP x OD
Ts
Where:
R = minimum plug length, feet
ªP = differential pressure, psi

OD = OD of casing, inches

HIP PLASTIC
HIP™ PLASTIC PLUG
HIP Plastic Plug is a downhole plastic system

designed to shut off unwanted water
production. Primary applications are in gravel
packs, open hole completions, water drive
reservoirs, and remedial plugbacks.
Because HIP Plastic Plug contains no solids, it

migrates easily into the gravel pack pore
volume, cement channels, and perforations.
Its mobility time (liquid state), low initial
viscosity, and high density allow displacement
of wellbore fluids. Once cured, it provides an
effective barrier to flow exhibiting good bond
strength and insoluble to stimulating acids.
An on-site HPI Specialist can adjust the curing

rate to minimize shut-in time. This allows the
well to be returned to production within 24
hours over a wide range of temperatures.
HIP Plastic Plug has been developed to

provide optimum downhole performance.
Laboratory tests and field applications have
demonstrated repeatable performance. Strict
QC procedures for plastic storage, handling,
and performance are followed.
Call HPI for more information or assistance in

planning a water shut-off project.

below.
Typically, this application requires 25-100% more plastic than the calculated casing
volume. This is a result of plastic migrating behind pipe into voids, channels and the near
bore formation. HIP Plastic Plug exhibits good shear bond strength to the casing wall.
Laboratory testing confirms shear bond values of over 300 psi.
In water drive reservoirs, this process can be repeated during the life of the well as the
water level rises to reduce the volume of water handling required.

CEMENT PRODUCTS
STATIC CASING CLEANER
Static Casing Cleaner (SCC) displaces hydrocarbons from the I.D. surface of casing,
therein, preparing the surface for a high strength shear bond and hydraulic bond with
cement. SCC is a 10 ppg surfactant. It is placed in the well bore atop the bridge plug via a
dump bailer. With SCC in place, hydrocarbon films peel off the I.D. surface of the casing
and float to the top of the SCC. Subsequent cement slurry runs are bailed with the bottom
of the bailer 2 to 3 feet below the top of the SCC and are therefore less susceptible to
contamination by the hydrocarbon.
When there is oil or condensate at a plug setting depth, SCC provides an economical
means to eliminate their deleterious effects on dump bailed cement plugs.

COILED TUBING ACCESSORIES
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE STANDING VALVE (Model No. 387)
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE STANDING VALVE
The HPI Differential Pressure Standing Valve provides the

operator with the ability to work in low fluid and no fluid
environments. The Standing Valve supports a column of fluid in
the tubing string. Increased tubing pressure will open the Valve
and allow fluid communication with any tool below the Standing
Valve. The operating pressure of the tool can be adjusted
according to specific well conditions.
When run above an inflatable packer, hydrostatic pressure in the

coiled tubing is isolated above the packer, allowing the packer to
be run normally. Increased tubing pressure will open the valve
and allow fluid communication with the packer for inflation. When
pulling tubing, the Differential Pressure Standing Valve
automatically closes allowing the packer to deflate normally.
59doc 5.4
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (Model No. 386-01)
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The HPI Pressure Relief Valve prevents over pressurization of

the tubing. In the run-in condition, the Pressure Relief Valve is
normally closed, allowing fluid communication from top to bottom.
The tool is actuated by increasing the tubing pressure to a pre-
set value. At the actuation pressure, the Valve opens to the
tubing annulus, thus dumping fluid and preventing over
pressurization of the tubing string. The Pressure Relief Valve will
close and re-set once the tubing pressure drops below the
actuation pressure. The actuation pressure is field adjustable
from 500-2500 psi.
When used in conjunction with I-HIP Inflatable Plugs and

Packers, the Pressure Relief Valve established the inflation
pressure while providing protection against over inflation.
Shunt Option (Model No. 386-02)
The Pressure Relief Valve is Available with a shunt option to

bypass the pressure relief feature. Slacking off tubing weight
closes the relief valve yet allows continued flow thru the tubing
string to other hydraulic tools, or the wellbore below.
60doc 5.5
VELOCITY VALVE (Model No. 388)
HPI VELOCITY VALVE
The HPI Velocity Valve is a diverter valve. Upon actuation, the

valve closes the fluid exit such that the tubing can be pressurized
without having to drop a ball. In the run-in condition, the valve is
normally open. Actuation occurs by increasing the pump rate
thru the valve until a pre-set pressure (usually 500 psi) is
attained. At that time, the Velocity Valve will close and remain
closed until the tubing pressure drops below the pre-set pressure.
This device can be used in conjunction with HPI I-HIP Plugs and
Packers. Flow rates and setting pressures are field adjustable,
(500-2500 psi).
62doc 5.6
SPOTTING VALVE (Model No. 339)
SPOTTING VALVE
The HPI Spotting Valve is used to displace the fluid volume of the
pipe string into the annular area. This tool allows the “spotting” of
working fluids (i.e., acid, cement, etc.) at the working depth
without having to pump large volumes into the formation.
The Spotting Valve also functions as a fluid meter. It enables the

operator to control pressure and pumping rate of the tool string
which is required to properly perform operations with inflatables.

COILED TUBING PUMP-THRU ELECTRIC LINE CABLEHEAD (Model No. 643)
CT Pump-Thru Electric Line Cablehead
The HPI Pump-Thru Cablehead is run in conjunction with Coiled

electric line to the coiled tubing tool string and provides the
mechanism needed to electrically connect electric line tools to
single or multi-conductor cables. This tool also provides pump-
thru capability for conventional coiled tubing operations.
Cable anchor models are available. These models are frequently

used in multi-conductor cable applications. These applications
generally include a separate cablehead at the top of an open hole
tool string comprised of multiple logging tools.
Other models including conventional cablehead transitions from

multi-conductor and single conductor lines to a single conductor
output are available (as shown in the adjacent figure).
When run with other related HPI Pump-Thru tools, the operator
can take advantage of the combined capabilities of coiled tubing
and electric line operations.

command, of the coiled tubing and electric line from the tool
string below the tool.
The EHSD utilizes a collet mechanism which is locked into

position with a hydraulic detent. The various EHSD models have
substantial load capabilities. A thru-bore facilitates passage of
electrical conductors (single conductor and multi-conductor) and
provides hydraulic continuity to the tool string below the EHSD.
Tool operation requires the EHSD be neutrally loaded, (no

tension) prior to actuation. Application of 100 vDC and 70 mA will
trip the dump valve, releasing the collet to allow the tool to
separate upon subsequent application of tension. The remaining
tool string will have a conventional ID or OD fishneck profile
Alooking up@ for future fishing operations.

THRU TUBING GUN RELEASE
THRU TUBING GUN RELEASE

(Explosive Type)
Thru-tubing perforating guns may experience

swelling, changes in shape, burrs and/or sticking
after detonation. Often, it is not prudent or
possible to attempt retrieval to the surface. The
Thru-Tubing Gun Release (TTGR) allows the
operator to have the option of releasing the
expended gun after perforating. This not only
permits the operator to retrieve expensive wireline
tools (i.e., CCL, weight bars), but also avoid a
potential wireline fishing job. This system is
compatible with other wireline tools (i.e., chemical
cutter, jet cutter, severing tool).
The TTGR is an accessory component run

between the perforating guns and the collar
locator. A select-fire diode package is placed in
the top of the TTGR. This permits the electrical
current flow path to be directed from the surface to
fire the perforating gun first, and if desired, release
the guns later. Once the guns are released, all
other wireline tools above the perforating guns can
be retrieved. A fishing profile remains atop the
guns to facilitate wireline fishing operations, if
desired.
The TTGR has standard “GO” connections on

bottom (798-169-03 “GO” PIN; 798-169-04 “Go”
BOX). Custom models are available with
Schlumberger (799-169-01) and Western Atlas
(798-169-01) connections.
The TTGR can be quickly and easily redressed in

the field. Replacement components, both
expendable and hardware, are available to redress
tools which have been used or run inhole. Contact

The Circulating Pressure Firing Head makes it possible to perform operations

which require explosives (perforating, jet cutters, etc.) on coiled tubing. The
system is designed to allow circulation before detonation, and after
detonation to maintain well control. Pressure is applied to the coil driving a

Circulation before detonation can be achieved by using a Aball drop@ model.

This allows coiled tubing to be run in hole with communication between coil
ID and production tubing. A ball is dropped which seats in the piston profile
allowing pressure to increase for actuation.

PRE-PROJECT PREPARATION
PRE-PROJECT PREPARATION FOR A THRU-TUBING PLUG-BACK
The following recommendations will help to achieve a successful plug-back. Although some of these
recommendations might not be feasible, it is important that the Project Engineer be aware of their importance.
1. If your well has a column of fluid to the surface and a positive shut-in tubing pressure, contact HPI for
recommendations. Successful plug-back of these wells is very sensitive to pressure maintenance
throughout the project. Wells with a gas cap are much less sensitive to pressure maintenance during
plug-back operations. A positive shut-in tubing pressure with a gas cap is very common and not a
serious concern.
2. Determine if one of the following deleterious elements is present at the plug setting depth:
-oil -natural gas -scale

-condensate -paraffin -salt deposits
Contact HPI for consultation if any one of these damaging elements is present at the plug depth.
Their presence can reduce or eliminate the bond between cement and casing. Oil and condensate
can retard cement to the point where it takes weeks for it to set. For best results, cement should be
dumped in clean casing and clean wellbore fluids (fresh water or brines having less than 100,000 ppm
salt concentration).
3. If possible, pump 5-10 tubing/casing volumes of sea water or other suitable brine into the well. This
should flush the well and leave a clean fluid at the plug setting depth. After pumping, allow the well to
stabilize for at least 48 hours prior to running the plug.
4. If the well is on gas lift, bleed all pressure off the casing and tubing. If possible, pump brine into the
well as described in No. 3, above. Allow the well to stabilize for at least 48 hours prior to running the
plug.
5. Generally, it takes days for a wellbore to achieve pseudo equilibrium. Fluid entering the wellbore and
gas "percolating" into the wellbore can induce channels in a cement plug. Therefore, shut the well in
and allow it to stabilize for at least 48 hours prior to running the plug. This will help to minimize the
fluid and gas movement during plug-back operations.
6. Run a stiff full length drift down to the plug setting depth. The drift should have the same running
diameter and length as the dump bailer tool string.
7. Read the Recommended HIP Running Procedures before commencing plug-back operations. These
procedures address important operations which will help to maximize project success.
79doc 9.1
HIP PLUG
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES
RECOMMENDED HIP RUNNING PROCEDURES
Thru-tubing plug-back operations can have a high success rate if the following principles are practiced.
• Read these recommended procedures prior to handling and running the plug.
• As a matter of field experience, dumping 20 feet (or more) of cement in 7 inch and larger casing has
provided the highest plug-back success rates. Correspondingly, dumping fifteen feet (or more) of
cement in 5-1/2 inch and smaller casing has provided the highest plug-back success rates. These
cement plug lengths are recommended for all thru-tubing bridge plugs (regardless of the type or
manufacturer).
• Although HIP/WS models have provided many successful plugs without the use of supplemental
bridging material, it is always advantageous to dump 1-2 feet of additional bridging material atop the
volume carried by the HIP/WS. Supplemental bridging material is required when the well is deviated,
there is cross flow, or open perforations in the wellbore.
• Keep the well static throughout the project until the plug is tested.
• Use HIP Mix to assure a high integrity cement slurry and plug.
• If the plug is to be run in a sour/corrosive environment, special preparations and/or a specially

designed plug may be necessary. Contact HPI for more details.
• Prior to closing the vent valve, dump primary cement until it is within 12 inches to 18 inches from the
vent ports.
• Wait a minimum of 18 hours after the last dump bailer run before closing the vent valve.
• Wait a minimum of 24 hours after the last dump bailer run before pressure testing the cement plug.
1. When you arrive on site, inspect the wellhead. If there is pressure at the surface, record the wellhead
pressure. KEEP THIS PRESSURE STATIC UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE PLUG BACK
PROJECT. Pressure up the lubricator to wellhead pressure prior to opening the swab valve. Do this
on every run.
2. CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN STATIC WELL CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT. Make

gauge run. Include thermometers to measure maximum temperature at plug depth. Identify and
record fluid level. POOH.
CAUTION: HIP and HIP/WS are spring loaded in the setting sleeve. IF MISHANDLED, THE PLUG
79doc 9.2
HIP PLUG
COULD PREMATURELY EJECT AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. Never stand in front or behind the setting
sleeve when loaded with a plug. ALWAYS HANDLE HIP AND HIP/WS WITH CAUTION.
3. Make up HIP with a CCL. One or two bow spring centralizers should be run immediately above the
o
plug if the hole deviation is greater than 25 . For 7-5/8 inch and 9-5/8 inch HIP, install at least 150 lbs.
of weight bars above the HIP setting sleeve in the tool string.
NOTE: The HIP setting sleeve has a thick wall segment immediately below the threaded end. This segment
is approximately 2-1/2 inches long. Whenever making up a tool string or placing the setting sleeve in a vise,
pipe wrenches and vise faces should only clamp upon the thick wall segment. Do not clamp upon the thin wall
tube below the thick wall segment.
The setting sleeve should be securely screwed onto the tool string so it will not back off while GIH or
POOH. Pipe wrenches are generally used to secure the setting sleeve onto the tool string. Refer to
Figure 1 for tool string make-up.
4. Run the HIP in the hole. Once you are at depth, carefully tie in with casing collars. Locate the HIP
below the setting depth and slowly pull up to the desired setting depth. If the setting depth is not
critical, it is recommended that the bottom set of slips be set 1 foot into a perforated interval or 1 foot
below a casing coupling connection.
NOTE: The bottom end of the HIP ejects approximately 1 foot out the end of the setting sleeve when it is
deployed. This must be added to the setting depth.
Deploy HIP at desired setting depth, wait 1 minute and pull off at 2,000 FPH for 50 feet. POOH.
NOTE: If a HIP Plug is placed in the wellbore and not deployed for whatever reason, do not re-run this plug.
Run a back-up plug and return the plug to HPI to be redressed.
5. Make up dump bailer to dump bridging material. Strap the entire CCL/bailer assembly to be certain
that you can accurately locate the bottom of the bailer 2 feet above the vent valve. GIH with enough
bridging material to fill 1-2 feet of casing volume. Locate the bailer 2 feet above the vent valve and
o
dump. If the well deviation is greater than 60 , the bailer bottom should be located 2-3 feet above the
packer when the bridging material is dumped. The bailer should them be stroked approximately 5
feet to encourage dumping of the shot. Stroke the bailer 3 to 5 times above the packer. POOH.
CAUTION: RUNNING INTO THE PACKER MAY DAMAGE THE PLUG AND RESULT IN FAILURE.
AVOID BAILER CONTACT WITH PACKER.
79doc 9.3
HIP PLUG
DEPTH CORRELATION IN DEVIATED WELLS
Since the bailer cannot be set down upon the packer, it is essential that the bailer depth correlation be
determined while the tool is traveling downward and not while the bailer is pulled upward. This will allow
accurate placement of the bailer bottom in deviated wells. The bailer bottom should be properly
positioned while traveling downward and then the slack should be taken out of the line by picking up to the
"tool pick-up weight". The cement or bridging material may then be dumped.
NOTE: Review the dimensional details of the plug and the casing. Be certain that the bailer can be placed in
the annular gap between the plug and the ID of the casing. If it cannot, cement and bridging material should
be dumped within 1-2 feet above the top of the plug.
(Casing I.D. - 1.38")/2 > Bailer O.D.
6. Make up dump bailer to run HIP Mix cement. Strap the entire CCL/bailer assembly to be certain that
you can accurately locate the bottom of the bailer 2 feet above the packer or 2 feet above the bridging
material. Fill bailer with HIP Mix cement. GIH. Once the tool is within 20 feet of the vent valve, the
rate of tool descent should be less than 1/2 foot per second (1,800 FPH). Carefully monitor line
tension to assure the bailer does not set down upon the plug. Locate the bottom of the bailer 2 feet
above the packer or 2 feet above the bridging material. Dump the slurry and wait 3 minutes. Do not
shake a bailer with cement. POOH.
WELLBORE FLUIDS AND TRAVEL SPEEDS
The cement must be dumped in wellbore fluid, preferably a brine. The cement will not have adequate strength
if dumped in dry gas, condensate, crude oil, or in wellbore fluid containing ligno-sulfanates.
Once the first cement load has been dumped, you must not exceed the following travel speeds. This applies
to GIH and POOH.
In 2-3/8 inches tbg maximum travel speed in liquid = 10,000 fph (166 fpm)
There is no limit to travel speed when the tool string is in gas. The maximum allowable travel speed only
applies when the tool string is traveling in liquid and when the vent valve is open.
79doc 9.4
HIP PLUG
Do not exceed the maximum allowable travel speed. Otherwise, you risk channeling and damaging the
primary plug.
7. Repeat bailer runs until you have dumped enough HIP Mix to bring the top of cement to within
12 inches to 18 inches of the vent valve ports.
8. Wait at least 18 hours after your last dump bailer run before closing the vent valve. This will insure a
properly cured and strong primary cement plug.
9. Make up an EL tool string having the following structure (from bottom to top):
• Lead impression block

• Bow spring centralizer
• Dump Bailer (if possible)
• Bow spring centralizer
• Remaining EL tool string
Or, make up a tool string having at least 150 pounds of weight bars, a lead impression block (with the largest
possible diameter) on its bottom, and bow spring centralizers on top and bottom. GIH with tool string and set
down on the top of the vent valve. Slack off at least 200 pounds to close the vent valve. You may jar down
on the plug at 3,600-7,200 FPH (60-120 FPM). Pick up and repeat two more times. The force required to
make an impression on the face of the LIB is greater than the force necessary to close the vent valve.
Therefore, a ring type impression on the face of the LIB assures valve closure. POOH at safe and convenient
travel speed. Inspect the lead impression block to confirm direct impact with the vent valve.
10. Make up dump bailer to run cement. GIH and dump cement to complete the plugging operations.
11. If the plug is to be pressure tested, wait at least 24 hours after the last bailer run before performing
the pressure test.
RECOMMENDED CEMENT PLUG LENGTH
The very best field performance has been experienced when 20 feet (or more) of cement is dumped in 7 inch,
7-5/8 inch and 9-5/8 inch casing and 15 feet (or more) of cement is dumped in 5-1/2 inch and smaller casing.
Using this as a minimum benchmark, refer to plug length chart for cement length required for differential
pressure expected.

HIP TOOL STRING MAKEUP
FIGURE 1A - HIP/TOOL STRING MAKE-UP - EXPLOSIVE SETTING MECHANISM

FLUID EXPOSED DETONATOR
1. Check make-up of all threaded connections prior to leaving shop.
2. Make a "Pig-Tail" (Item 3) and connect it to the "hot" pin (Item 2) at the bottom of the firing head. The
"Pig-Tail" should be long enough (8"-12") to stretch through the HIP Double Box Window Sub (Item
4). Place insulation over the electrical connection, ensure it is fluid tight (i.e., electrical tape, boot,
etc.). Secure with seizing cord or clamp as appropriate.
3. Make up the EL Tool String (Item 1) to the HIP Double Box Window Sub. Stretch the "Pig-Tail" out
the side window.
4. *Remove Threaded Bushing (Hem6) [not the hex nut] from the center of the hex nut atop the HIP
Setting Sleeve (Hem5). Insert an appropriate blasting cap into the open hole at the very top of the
plug until it bottoms out. Secure the squib by pulling wires thru the Threaded bushing and reinstalling
Threaded bushing into the plug [NOTE: The proper tensile stud must be selected for the blasting cap
selected. Contact HPI].
5. Partially screw the HIP Setting Sleeve into the Double Box Window Sub. Pull the two leads of the
squib so that they extend out of the side window. Securely make up all threaded connections in the
tool string. Do not place a wrench on the body of the setting sleeve more than 2" below the threaded
end.
6. Cut the two leads of the squib to length. Strip off the insulation to make the appropriate electrical
connections.
7. Secure the ground lead from the squib to the ground screw in the Double Box Window Sub.
Complete the "hot" "Pig-Tail" connection and secure the fluid tight boot over the connection. Push the
wires into the window sub and insure that they cannot extend out of the window while RIH.
8. The plug is now ready to be RIH.

TECHNICAL DATA
MINIMUM PLUG LENGTH
DETERMINATION OF MINIMUM PLUG LENGTH
In order for a cement plug to stay in place, the force imposed by the differential pressure across the plug must
be less than the bond strength between the plug and the casing. This is expressed by the following equation:
ªP x A 1 < s s x A2
Where:
ªP = differential pressure, psi

2
A1 = projected area of plug, in
s s = shear bond strength between cement plug and csg, psi
Assume:
2 2
A1 = p x (ID of csg) , in
4
s s = 200 psi (minimum value measured for HIP Mix)
2
A2 = p x (ID of csg) x l, in
Where:
l = length of plug
The theoretical minimum plug length may be derived from the following:
theoretical lmin (in feet) = ªP x (ID of CSG)

48 s s
It is more realistic to assume:
actual A2 = 50% of maximum theoretical contact area
actual s s = 50% of measured value in laboratory
ª
recommended lmin (in feet) = P x (ID of CSG)
2,400
Figure 1 illustrates the corresponding values for numerous casing sizes.
If the plug is set in dry gas, condensate or crude oil, it would be prudent to multiply the above value by a factor
of 2 or 3 to assure a High Integrity Plug.

acknowledgment by Buyer shall constitute a part of the contract between HPI and Buyer. Order confirmation by HPI in respect of the supply
of any item constitutes HPI's offer. Acceptance by Buyer is limited to HPI's said terms and conditions. Notice of objection is hereby given to
any term, provision or condition of Buyer which modifies, conflicts with, contradicts, or purports to be added to HPI's said terms and
conditions; neither HPI's commencement of performance nor delivery shall be construed as or deemed to be acceptance of such term,
provision or condition of Buyer.
(c) No modifications of the contract referred to in paragraph (b) of this Condition 14 shall be effective unless agreed to in writing by an officer of
HPI. HPI recognizes that Buyer may, for operating convenience, desire to utilize its own forms in connection with an order and, in such case,
any term, provision or condition in such form which modifies, conflicts with or contradicts (with the addition of such other terms and conditions
as aforesaid) shall be deemed to be waived unless the same is expressly accepted in writing by an officer of HPI.
(d) Failure by HPI to enforce any or all of these General Terms and Conditions in any case or cases shall not constitute a waiver of or preclude
subsequent enforcement of any of all of such General Terms and Conditions.
(e) Any attempted or purported assignment or transfer of any of the rights, duties or obligations herein contained shall render such
attempted or purported assignment or transfer null and void, provided that HPI may perform and fulfill all or any of its obligations
hereunder by or through one or more of its said subsidiaries and affiliates.
(f) Any collect telephone call made by Buyer at HPI's expense, even when accepted by HPI, is subject to be charged back against Buyer unless
made in circumstances where HPI has a liability in respect of the subject matter of such call pursuant to Condition 12 hereof.
(g) If any provision of these General Terms and Conditions is capable of more than one construction, one or more of which would render the
provision void and one which would render the provision valid, the provision shall be interpreted in the manner which would render it valid. If
any provision is determined to be void by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect any other provision and such
other provision shall remain in full force and effect. These General Terms and Conditions shall be interpreted and receive effect in
accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana.
