Balanced Plug

Balanced plug is a technique of placing a cement plug in such a way that the levels of different fluids inside and outside drill pipe are same. It is the most common method of plug placement. Having the same level of fluids in drill pipe and annulus provides stability to the fluid system in the slurry. It minimizes the contamination risk and enhances the plug effectiveness.
