FLWP
Second Plug
Applications
— Cemented liners that have an ID comparable to that of the drillpipe on which
they are being run
Specifications
Contact an authorized Weatherford representative.
Options
— An FLWP indicator sub can be used in the drillpipe string, just above the running tools, to give a shear
indication when the second FLWP reaches it. This option provides greater certainty for the amount of
additional displacement required to bump the plug.

LINER SYSTEMS
CAUTION
However, the following rules must be adhered to when considering selection of the fins and the usage of
the dart:
• The un-modified 6 5/8” & 5” Fins / Cups are not to be used for 5-1/2” or smaller SWP’s.
• The un-modified 6 5/8” & 5” Fins / Cups are not to be used on the lead dart for any DWP’s.
• The un-modified 6 5/8” & 5” Fins / Cups are not to be used as the lead Fin / Cup for any assembly.
• All crossovers, pup joints, drill pipe, and any other components through which the dart(s) will travel must be drifted (2.54 inches).
• Do not use the darts in any transitions that have more than a 1 inch (25.4mm) difference of inside diameters unless the transition angle is
30 degrees or less from the longitudinal axis.
• Transitions of 45 degrees or lower are acceptable when the changes on inside diameters are less than 1 inch (25.4mm).
• There should also be no square shoulders in any transitions involving 0.5” (12.7mm) or larger changes on inside diameter.

Fin or Cup selection for SWP / DWP Inner Sleeve Seal ID and Ratchet ID
Find the specific SWP / DWP Inner Sleeve Seal ID and or Ratchet ID, which is being run, from the Nose assembly table shown below. Compare
the ID of the Sleeve with the solid OD of the Fin / Cup. The selected Fin / Cup should have a solid OD should be smaller than the ID of the sleeve
to enable it to pass into it or through it depending on if it is a SWP or DWP.
Nose Assemblies selection for all Wiper Plugs, based upon Inner Sleeve Seal ID and Ratchet ID
Select the appropriate Seal ID or Ratchet ID of the Inner Sleeve, which is used within the Plug System.
Follow it along the table below until you get to the Windchill Part Number (WC P/No) and that is the specific nose assembly, which will be required.

Assembly Procedures
When assembling any dart iteration, Nose + Big Fin + Small Fin + Big Fin, the following procedures must be carried out:
6. Apply a thin horizontal line of Loctite 242 / 243 (medium strength) thread lock compound onto pin thread of first fin
and screw together with nose assembly, female thread, using a bench vice equipped with soft jaws and a strap
wrench or two strap wrenches. All threads must be torqued with a minimum exertion force of approximately 26
ft/lbs (35Nm).
7. Apply a thin horizontal line of Loctite 242 / 243 (medium strength) thread lock compound onto pin thread of second
fin and screw together with first fin, female thread, using a bench vice equipped with soft jaws and a strap wrench
or two strap wrenches. All threads must be torqued with a minimum exertion force of approximately 26 ft/lbs
(35Nm).
8. Apply a thin horizontal line of Loctite 242 / 243 (medium strength) thread lock compound onto pin thread of third /
final fin and screw together with second, female thread, using a bench vice equipped with soft jaws and a strap
wrench or two strap wrenches. All threads must be torqued with a minimum exertion force of approximately 26
ft/lbs (35Nm).
9. After all components have been assembled, check for any extruded locking compound and remove using a damp
cloth.
10. Once assembly is complete mark up all of the appropriate details on the “Dart Dimension Sheet” and attach it to the
component work file.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
All “New” manufactured darts for Liner System Applications must be to the above specifications. All ‘Old” darts
will be obsolete, but all existing “Old” stock may be used up on an as required basis.

Sub-Surface Release
(SSR™) Plug System
Cementing
Products
SSR™ Plug System
Applications:
Weatherford's SSR plugs are run with subsea casing or liner hanger systems to
separate fluids while cementing. We particularly recommend running the enlarged-bore
SSR system with auto-fill float equipment to reduce surge pressures in pressure-
sensitive formations and close-tolerance annuli. The system is further enhanced when
run with Weatherford's enlarged-bore auto-fill equipment and diverter tools.
Features:
— Top and bottom plug systems for 9 5/8-in. and larger casing have a 2.1-in. ID
without the ball release or capture options. Large-bore versions have a 2.4-in. ID.
— Integral pressure equalizer system is retrieved with the running tool.
— Polyurethane plug fins offer superior abrasion resistance and wiping action.
— Standard drillpipe darts can be pumped through a 2.54-in. drift diameter while the
large-bore drillpipe darts can be pumped through a 2.875-in diameter.
— System is PDC-drillable with WiperLok® non-rotating system.
— Two large 2.0-in. (50-mm) diameter bottom-plug burst disks minimize the risk of
plugging with solids or debris.
— Built-in disposable swivel equalizer eliminates the cost of renting this equipment.
— Bottom plug features an emergency by-pass system.
Performance:
Maximum temperature rating 250°F (121°C); 300°F (149°C) limited service
Shear pressure, 3 1/2-in. ball release 250 PSI
Launch pressure, bottom plug 800 to 1,200 PSI
Launch pressure, top plug 2,000 to 2,500 PSI
Rupture pressure, bottom plug 900 to 1,100 PSI
Bump pressure 5,000 PSI (9-5/8 in.)
Flow endurance (without ball release) 4 hr: 24 BPM
Flow endurance (with 3 1/2-in. ball release or ball catcher attached) 8 hr: 18 BPM
Flow endurance (ball release or ball[s] retained in catcher) 8 hr: 18 BPM
Pressure equalizer actuation pressure 30 to 60 PSI

procedures for PDC drilling of the plugs
and float equipment are based on light
