Abstract:

Apparatus and method for drilling out frac plugs. An example apparatus may include a data system configured to be communicatively connected with wellsite equipment for performing drill-out operations of frac plugs installed within a well. The data system may be operable to receive current drill-out data and historical drill-out data, determine optimal operational parameters of the wellsite equipment based on the current drill-out data and historical drill-out data, and display the determined optimal operational parameters for viewing by the human operator, thereby permitting the human operator to cause the wellsite equipment to perform the drill-out operations at the optimal operational parameters. The current drill-out data may include current specifications of the frac plugs. The historical drill-out data may include historical specifications of other frac plugs installed within other wells, and historical operational performance of other wellsite equipment during previously performed drill-out operations of the other frac plugs.
