Abstract
A frac plug has multiple conical-shape, radially outwardly expandable slip structures sandwiched between an actuator ring and a first ring. The smaller inner-diameter (ID) end of each slip structure extends into the larger ID end of the neighboring one. The actuator ring has a conical-shape portion extendable into the larger ID end of the neighboring slip structure. The first ring and actuator ring are movable towards each other to extend the conical-shape portion of the actuator ring into the neighboring slip structure thereby subsequently causing each slip structure extending its smaller ID end into the neighboring slip structure to expand the slip structure furthest to the actuator ring for engaging the slips thereon with a casing. The frac plug may comprise a seal element sandwiched between the actuator ring and a second ring, which are movable towards each other to compress and expand the seal element to engage the casing.
