Pumpdown perforating technology

The perforation team at Texery Oil Technologies Inc. are in charge of setting the bridge plugs and  pumpdown perforation. This technology is primarily used for shale oil & gas development. The operation typically includes perforating, setting bridge plug, hydraulic fracturing.

Technology Highlights
  •Unified-perforation type perforating technology.
  •After perforated by DPEX perforating bullet, the perforated trajectory will be cleaned automatically.

Principle of unified-perforation type perforating bullet 
 
Perforation bullet
    The explosive for all the perforating bullets are the same: RDX\HMX\PYX
Different perforating bullets only differ in the design of liner and cartridge. 
 
Unified-perforation type perforating bullet 
  •The design of liner angle differs from that of ordinary perforating bullet; it can control the explosive within energy collection and scattering.
  •After ignition, the set flow will be in the shape of column and launched toward the ground.
 
Ordinary perforating bullet 
  •The liner design makes the explosive more energy-gathered.
  •After ignition, the set flow will be in the shape of cone and launched toward the ground.

Self-cleaning perforating bullet 
  •Reactive metal material is adopted for the liner.
  •After perforating, exothermic reaction of reactive metal material will occur in the trajectory along with the jet flow.
  •After exothermic reaction, ultrahigh pressure will generate in the trajectory, so the perforating fragments will flow back to the shaft along with the fluid.
  •The ultrahigh pressure in the trajectory will last for a while, so the fragments in the trajectory will be cleaned up and the trajectory will be clean.
 
Ordinary perforating bullet 
  •Inert metal material is adopted for the liner.
  •After perforating, the liner will melt or be blasted into fragments. 
 
Oriented perforating 
    Oriented perforating technology: It realizes the oriented perforations at different positions in a single trip. Contrast to realize the oriented perforation at a position in the past, the operator needs to run the tools in the well for three times: at the first time, set the bridge plug with locationing slot; on the second time, lower the gyroscope to measure the relative azimuth of the locationing slot; at the third time, put the perforation gun into the locationing slot to perforate the well. 

 
Case study
 
 
Result:
    The max. pumping pressure of the first stage of JY31-3HF well is 82Mpa; and no leakage was found in the Hunting 105Mpa wellhead blowout control equipment. 
 
 
 

Since 2012,  618 wells with more than 7000 stages were implemented in JiaoshiBa oil & gas fields, Northeast oil field, Yangchang oil field, East China oil field, and Puguang oil & gas fields.
