Plug and Perf Completions are widely used to increase the production of oil reservoirs. The technique involves drilling multiple perforations in the wellbore casing and placing temporary plugs between these intervals. When selectively removed, hydraulic fracturing fluid flows into the rock formation, creating fractures that improve the flow of oil and gas.

Vigor is a leading supplier of oilfield tools and services, offering a range of products suitable for lost circulation operations. These include the Vigor Perforation System, the Vigor Composite Bridge Plug, the Vigor Dissolvable Frac Plug and the Vigor Pro-set Electro-hydraulic Setting Tool.
1.Vigor Perforating System
The Vigor perforating system is an integral part of the plugging and perforating process. It includes a range of perforating guns, charges and accessories designed to provide accurate and consistent perforations. The system uses advanced technologies such as Vigor perforating guns to create optimal perforation tunnels using shaped charges.

2. Vigor Composite Bridge Plugs
Vigor composite bridge plugs are another important element in plug and performance operations. The plug isolates a specific section of the wellbore, preventing hydraulic fracturing fluid from flowing into unintended areas. Vigor Composite Bridge Plugs have a unique composite construction that makes them extremely durable and easy to install and remove.
Vigor Composite frac plugs have several benefits, including:

1. Corrosion resistance: Different from metal bridge plugs, composite bridge plugs are made of non-metallic materials and have strong corrosion resistance. This helps prevent damage to the plug and ensures long-term reliability.
2. Light weight: Composite bridge plugs are generally lighter than traditional metal bridge plugs, making them easier to handle and transport. This also reduces the overall weight of the downhole toolstring, which can increase efficiency and reduce costs.
3. High Strength: Composite materials are known for their high tensile strength and resistance to cracking and fatigue. Therefore, composite bridge plugs can withstand high pressure and high temperature without failure.
4. Easy to Mill: The composite plug is designed to be easy to mill after use. This removes blockages quickly and easily, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.
5. Cost-effective: Composite materials are usually cheaper than metal materials, which helps to reduce the cost of composite bridge plugs.This makes it a cost-effective choice for many downhole applications.

3. Vigor Dissolvable Frac Plug
The Vigor Dissolvable Frac Plug is a temporary plug used to separate stages during hydraulic fracturing. This plug dissolves over time, avoiding costly milling operations. The Vigor Dissolvable Frac Plug is made from a patented material that is soluble in selected fluids such as hydrochloric acid.

Vigor dissolvable frac plug is used in hydraulic fracturing operations to isolate and stage fractured zones. Unlike traditional bridge plugs, which are designed to be removed from the wellbore after use, Vigor dissolvable frac plugs are designed to dissolve or break down over time without leaving debris in the wellbore. These Vigor dissolvable frac plugs are usually made of materials such as magnesium or zinc, which are highly reactive and can dissolve in the natural brine found in the reservoir. The dissolution process can take anywhere from hours to days, depending on the specific plug design and well conditions.

4.Vigor Pro-set Electro-hydraulic Setting Tool
Finally, the Vigor Pro-set electro-hydraulic setting tool was used to set and retrieve bridge and frac plugs. The tool is designed for operation in challenging environments and features advanced safety measures such as remote launch systems and redundant safety systems. In conclusion, plug and perf operation is critical in the oil and gas industry, and Vigor's products offer outstanding performance and reliability.
