Methods and systems for a frac plug
Utilizing threads and coupling mechanisms to selectively secure slips and cones directly to a mandrel, wherein a distal end of the lower slips includes projections configured to interface with depressions within a cap of the frac plug to limit the relative rotation of the slips.
1. A frac plug comprising:
a mandrel;
lower slips with a first thread, the first thread being configured to couple the lower slips with the mandrel, wherein the first thread is configured to restrict the longitudinal movement of the lower slips before setting the frac plug, and upon setting, the first thread is configured to permit the longitudinal movement of the lower slips after activation of the first thread:
a lower cone with a fin and a ramp, wherein the fin has a first portion and a second portion, wherein a first angle of the first portion is different than a second angle of the second portion.
2. The frac plug of claim 1 ,
wherein the lower slips include an inner surface with an inner surface angle, wherein the first thread is a breakable thread.
3. A frac plug comprising:
a mandrel;
lower slips with a first thread, the first thread being configured to couple the lower slips with the mandrel, wherein the first thread is configured to restrict the longitudinal movement of the lower slips before setting the frac plug, and upon setting, the first thread is configured to permit the longitudinal movement of the lower slips after activation of the first thread,
the lower slips including an inner surface with an inner surface angle, wherein the first thread is a breakable thread;
a lower cone with a fin and a ramp with a ramp angle, the ramp angle being substantially equal to the inner surface angle of the lower slips;
a cap positioned adjacent to the lower slips, a first surface of the cap including grooves;
projections positioned on a distal surface of the lower slips;
the projections being configured to interface with the grooves to allow relative linear movement of the cap and lower slips while restricting relative rotational movement of the cap and lower slips.
4. The frac plug of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first channel having a first width and a second width the first width being substantially equal to that of a fin of the lower slips, wherein the second width changes from a proximal end of the first channel to a second end of the first channel, wherein the fin and the channel include planar sidewalls that extend in parallel to each other.
5. The frac plug of claim 4 , wherein the fin includes a tapered distal end that gradually reduces a height of the fin while the width of the fin remains constant.
6. The frac plug of claim 1 , further comprising:
a flapper within a weak point assembly positioned across an inner diameter of the mandrel, the weak point assembly being configured to break based on a pressure applied against the flapper.
