The CT pumpout or shearout plug

gives the operator a temporary plug in
the end of the CT or tool string which
enables the string to be pressured up
without pumping a ball into a seat.
This feature is often required to set a
hydraulic packer. It is not recommended to run with only a pumpout
plug into a live well. Additional check
valves above the shear out plug are
required if a double-barrier philosophy
is to be followed.
The shearout plug is installed in a
sub or housing, which can be a component of any other tool. At the desired
depth, the hydraulic packer can be set
by application of the setting pressure.
Additional pressure pumps the shearout
plug off the end of the tool string.

Pumpout and Shearout Plug Sizes

Pumpout plugs are available in all CT sizes and wall thicknesses.
Shearout plugs are available for 0.750-in. to 2.000-in. bore in 1 8-in. steps, or as per request.
