Summary
In this episode, we’re joined by Jamie Frederick, President of U.S. Operations at STATS Group, to discuss the launch of the SureTap Plug—the world’s first completion plug delivering true double block and bleed isolation at the most critical point of hot tapping operations. With two independent compression seals and a fully testable intermediate annulus, the SureTap Plug allows operators to verify seal integrity and correct positioning before any differential pressure is applied—shifting the industry from assumed safety to verified safety.
