Boss Hog frac plugs are short, fast, and strong composite plugs that save operators time and money during fracturing and drillout. They can be run twice as fast as competitors at 600 feet per minute while using 40% less water. Over 35,000 Boss Hog plugs have been run without any presetting issues. They provide reliable sealing at pressures over 10,000 PSI and drillout in under 15 minutes, reducing total well costs.

Designed and Manufactured for Speed
and Reliability During Frac Operations
The Downhole Technology™
Boss Hog® frac plug delivers a
step-change in composite plug performance. Half the length
and weight of most competitive plugs, they can be run at
twice the speed and drilled out in less than half the time of
other composites while still returning small-sized debris.
Boss Hog plugs also require significantly less water volume
during pumpdown, and only one pump truck is needed,
which means savings between $2,000 and $4,000 per day and
in some conditions reducing the need to upgrade to
higher-pressure iron. With these advantages, operators
have saved tens of thousands of dollars per well by
switching to Boss Hog frac plugs.
Engineered for Lowest Total Cost of Operations
Downhole Technology’s composite plugs represent a total
reengineering of plug design and construction. Instead of
making incremental improvements on legacy plug designs
from the 1990s, Downhole Technology engineered Boss Hog
plugs from the ground up to eliminate problems inherent
with older-generation composite plugs, such as slow running
speeds, excessive water use, premature setting, failure
under pressure and long drillout times. The Boss Hog plug’s
design eliminates the shortcomings of competitive plugs in
all these areas to achieve the lowest total cost of operations.
Quality, In-house Manufacturing
Downhole Technology is committed to the highest product
quality, so we perform all manufacturing at our own plant
in Houston, Texas.
Boss Hog plug construction begins with the industry’s highest-
quality composite material. We produce our composite
material under tightly controlled temperature and humidity
conditions to meet exact specifications. Composite material
is tested at every stage of manufacture, assuring maximum
quality and traceability. Our filament-wound composite
material is stronger than composites fabricated from sheets
and produces finer cuttings that flow back more easily
during drillout.
All composite parts are machined in our facility by machinists
experienced at working with this strong, lightweight material.
Each Boss Hog component undergoes rigorous quality
inspection, and after assembly in our plant, every 50th
completed plug is tested in our dedicated frac plug laboratory
to assure rated performance.

3. Simple Design for Efficiency and Reliability
Boss Hog plugs have a simple design, with fewer than
half the parts used in competitive plugs, so they are
easier to handle and less likely to lose components or
set prematurely while being run into the wellbore. And
because Boss Hog plugs are smaller than competitive
plugs, they produce significantly less cuttings during
drillout.
Our unique composite top slip is constructed of one
piece to avoid breakage and presets, and it features
carbide-free mild steel buttons that hold firm, prevent
casing damage and are easily drilled out.
Our Heli-Seal fluid control system captures fluid while
the plug is pumped down, enabling plugs to be run
at speeds up to 600 ft/min while pumping at just 8 bbl/
min, even in long lateral sections. Boss Hog plugs use
40% less water to deploy plugs and perforating guns
than competitive plug designs.
Our one-piece segmented lower slip, manufactured
from a proprietary cast blend material, holds the plug
at high pressure and enables predictable drillouts.
The plug’s tapered nose makes it easy to maneuver
past casing collars, around curves and through
doglegs in the well.
The Boss Hog frac plug is easy to handle at the
wellsite. Plugs are made up quickly using our specially
designed adapter kit, which is compatible with Owen,
Baker and standard hydraulic setting tools. We provide
running procedures to wireline operators for the Boss
Hog plug’s reduced-rate deployment in multi wells and
increased deployment speeds in single wells.
Short, Fast, Strong
Boss Hog plugs are short, fast and strong. They are
the result of the latest composite materials science,
rigorous testing and an in-depth understanding of the
plug-and-perforate completion process. More than
35,000 Boss Hog plugs have been run successfully
without presets in major basins throughout the U.S.
and Canada.

Quality Control
Equals High Performance
During every stage of
manufacture, Downhole
Technology’s Boss Hog frac
plugs undergo rigorous
testing in our dedicated
lab and downhole simu­
lator (photo below). One
out of every 50 manufac­
tured plugs is destructively
tested under simulated
downhole ­con­ditions to
verify design perfor­mance.
Results shown at right are
maximum pressure ratings
achieved by each plug
model in various casing
sizes and temperature
ranges.
