One of the most recognizable frac plugs on the market, PurpleSeal™ is known for its zero-metal, all-composite design, clean drill-outs, and signature purple rubber seal. The StageSaver is adapted to the PurpleSeal™ plug as a no-added-cost insurance policy in the event of a misrun.
If an operation is accustomed to the efficiency of running the ball in place, but subject to the risk of screens outs due to tight rock or simul-frac operations, the StageSaver is the rare “have your cake and eat it too” solution. Besides the frac-side benefits, the StageSaver doesn’t compromise the length of the PurpleSeal™ or add unwanted parts or materials to drill through and flow to surface—in a low-pressure formation, no less.
“Although it’s become increasingly rare to deal with screen outs in single-well ops, the uptake of simul- and trimul-frac operations has reintroduced it as a risk that teams need to plan for” says Collin Shaw, Vice President of Repeat Precision. “They aren’t frequent, but they can be a huge drain on time and resources. A single screen out can cost an operation 8 to 24 hours of non-productive frac time, $50,000 to $150,000 in intervention costs, and increased time to production for those wells.”
The StageSaver has gone through rigorous lab testing to prove performance in the field.
“While there are a few similar products to the StageSaver in the field, many are taken to market primarily based on rough calculations that support the design case. Of course this validation is important, but we have gone a step further and tested functionality through a third-party administered flow regime. We did our due diligence and the StageSaver is ready to add to the PurpleSeal as a standard feature.”

The StageSaver provides a value-added upgrade to the PurpleSeal™ and continues to ensure flawless performance downhole. The PurpleSeal™ continues to pack best-in-class sealing and casing conformity as proven by laboratory pressure testing, has no run-in-hole speed limits, and averages 25% less water than competing plugs during pump-down.
“It’s still the same PurpleSeal,” says Shaw. “It has all the same benefits, everything our customers are used to seeing out in the field. The entire plug is exactly the same and functions the same excellent way that it always has. Now it just has this one small feature that makes a big difference.”
