Cementing Wiper Plugs
HWE® High Wiping Efficiency Cementing Plugs The HWE® top and bottom cementing plugs are designed to help improve wiping efficiency during cementing operations. The wipers of the HWE plug are a deep-cup design, which provides greater wiping efficiency to remove mudcake, mud film, rust, and mill scale.
HAL24895
HAL24910
Halliburton cementing plugs are designed for use with Halliburton cementing heads and float equipment. Halliburton cementing plugs, regardless of the plug type, should be used with caution when used with competitors' plug containers or float equipment because competitors' cementing heads can cause the cementing plugs to be released prematurely or the plugs could fail to hold pressure when the top plug lands on the float collar. Additionally, competitors' plugs should be used with caution with Halliburton plug containers or float equipment for the same reasons.
HWE® Top Plug
HWE® Bottom Plug
Five Wiper Cementing Plugs Halliburton's standard five wiper plug is designed to provide fluid separation during displacement and wiping efficiency for wiping wellbore casing and tubulars clean of drilling mud, spacers, and cement. They provide excellent protection from over displacement and an indicator when displacement is complete. The plugs act as a seal on top of the float collar to allow pressure testing of casing after plug landing. They provide a means of fluid separation during the cementing process.
Features
Features
• The deep pocket wiper cups are slightly energized from pumping pressure to aid maximum casing wall contact.
• In all types of five wiper cementing plugs, the top cup of the top cementing plug is a deep-cup design that provides improved wiping efficiency.
• The bottom plug is supplied with a 750-psi rupture disk that helps ensure the plug reaches the float collar and can be more effective in shallower wells to give an indication at surface that it has landed at the float valve.
• The top plug is black; the bottom plug is orange or red. • Standard five wiper plugs are available for WBM, OBM, and SBM systems.
• The rupture disk design on the bottom plug allows for a larger unrestricted opening, which is more capable of handling lost circulation materials.
• Available for casing and tubing sizes (2 3/8 to 20 in.), not all styles available for tubing.
• Because of its rubber molding, the HWE plug can be run in water-based (WBM), oil-based (OBM), and syntheticbased mud (SBM) systems.
• Available top and bottom plastic insert bodies
• New rubber and phenolic plastic designs offer increased drillout benefits with smaller debris, tighter gripping, and easier drillout than standard five wiper plugs.
• Temperature rating is 400°F (204°C) • Top and bottom aluminum body inserts are available in certain sizes. They are not recommended for drillout with PDC bits.
• HWE plugs are drillable with PDC and roller cone bits.
• The standard five wiper plug should not be used with float valve equipment with a tapered top (i.e., innerstring equipment with sealing sleeve).
• HWE plugs are suitable for up to 400°F (204°C).
• Bottom plugs have a 350-psi rupturable diaphragm.
• The top plug is black; the bottom plug is orange. • Available for use in combination casing string.
