P UMP D OWN AND L INER WIPER P LUGS
The Pump Down Plug (PDPC)
prevents cement contamination in
the drill pipe during liner cement-
ing operations. The PDPC is released
from the cementing manifold at the
surface after the cement is pumped.
Traveling between the cement and
the displacement fluid, it wipes
cement from the drill pipe. The
PDPC then seals and locks into the
liner wiper plug, to function as a
single plug.

D UAL L INER WIPER P LUG SYSTEM
The Dual Liner Wiper Plug
System (DPS) provides enhanced
cement contamination prevention.
The DPS uses two PDPC plugs and
two LWPC plugs, matched to wipe
ahead of and behind the cement
column. The system has the same
advantages as the traditional lead
and following plugs in conventional
full string cementing.
The Liner Wiper Plug (LWPC)
prevents cement contamination in the
liner during liner cementing opera-
tions. The LWPC is normally shear
pinned to the setting tool and pro-
vides the seal bore for the PDPC. With
the PDPC sealed and latched, the
LWPC shears off, wiping the cement
from the inside of the liner and keep-
ing the cement separate from the
STANDARD LINER EQUIPMENT
displacing fluid. Following displace-
ment, the LWPC seals into the landing
collar, preventing backflow of cement.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
 Prevents cement contamination in
drill pipe and liners
 Locking system provides back
pressure capability when locked
and sealed in the landing collar
 Elastomer selection for compat-
ibility with most drilling fluids
 PDC drillable
 Anti-rotation feature reduces
drill-out times
