Vulcan Completion Products has launched the first of a series of new casing and completion technologies, advancing its product development programme and reinforcing its position in high-performance well construction solutions.
At the centre of the current rollout is the PROBE™: MAGMA-SEAL, a high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) casing shoe system developed for fracturing operations.
The engineered wet shoe solution integrates advanced casing shoe technology with a latch-in plug mechanism, enabling reliable isolation and pressure testing during critical stages of well construction.
Rated to 12,500 psi and 200°C (400°F), with a 10,000 psi working pressure and 15,000 psi development ongoing, the PROBE™: MAGMA-SEAL is designed for challenging operating environments. Its slick-body profile reduces drag during casing run-in, while dual non-cemented steel poppet valves enhance sealing and pressure integrity.
By eliminating the need for toe sleeves or TCP, the system simplifies completion design and reduces operational complexity without compromising performance in demanding fracturing programmes.
Mark Dundee, Vice-President at Vulcan, said: “Our focus is engineering tools that perform in demanding wells. The PROBE™: MAGMA-SEAL supports pressure integrity and efficient completions, and we have further casing and completion products scheduled for release in 2026.”
As operators pursue increasingly complex fracturing and HPHT programmes across key regions, robust and simplified solutions capable of performing under higher pressure regimes are in demand.
An eight-strong UK-based design and engineering team, supported by a strengthened global QA/QC capability, continues to advance the portfolio, which is protected by 57 patents. The launch forms part of a wider technology pipeline scheduled for phased release throughout the year.
