E Plug Wins COMSTEC Inventor Award - What Does it Mean for Your Operations?

Finding ways to optimize well operations while cutting costs is a constant challenge. That’s why the recognition of E Plug’s 9 5/8" TorcPlug with the COMSTEC 2024 Inventor Award matters—it’s a solution designed with efficiency in mind, helping operators reduce rig time, streamline hydraulic workover operations, and lower costs.

If you’re looking for proven technology that minimizes operational complexity, this award-winning tool could be a game-changer for your next project. Here’s what makes it different.

 

A Recognized Solution to a Common Challenge

The COMSTEC Inventor Award, presented at the Petronas Malaysian Petroleum Management (MPM) Wells Management Townhall 2025, highlights technologies that make a measurable impact on well operations.

The 9 5/8" TorcPlug earned this recognition because it eliminates the need for drill pipe in hydraulic workovers, allowing for a smooth transition to wireline operations. The result? Less rig time, lower operational costs, and a more efficient workflow—all without compromising performance or safety.

 

How This Benefits Your Operation

If you’ve faced delays or high costs due to extended rig time, complex workover transitions, or inefficient plugging solutions, the TorcPlug offers a smarter approach. Its design enables:

  • Faster workovers – Moving from drill pipe to wireline operations saves time and resources
  • Cost reductions – Less rig time translates directly to lower expenses
  • Simplified operations – A more streamlined process means fewer complications and delays

Backed by real-world success on Tapis B offshore Malaysia, this technology isn’t just an idea—it’s already delivering results for operators in the field.
