Perforating shock and debris reduction technology
INsidr™ perforating shock and debris reduction technology is the latest-generation innovation in HPHT high shot density gun systems. Debris from perforations can pose problems during tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP) and well cleanup operations. INsidr technology minimizes the fallout and volume of shaped-charge debris in wells—including those in deep water—for maximum flow and production. By reducing gun shock, INsidr technology protects TCP and completion equipment.
This perforating technology is a feature of the 6.62-in and 7-in HP HSD™ high shot density perforating gun system. INsidr technology is also compatible with other gun systems, including PowerFlow Max™ slug-free big hole shaped charges and in 3.5-in and 4.72-in ultraHPHT gun systems.
Reduces gun shock, protecting tubing and completion equipment
Decreases shaped charge debris volume, ensuring cleaner, more efficient well operations
Maximizes the area open to flow and diminishes debris concerns
Perforating gun shock can be excessive and, unless managed properly, can cause major damage to the lower assembly or completion tools. The proven PURE Planner™ perforation job planning application has added a new gun-shock application that predicts the peak incremental dynamic loads that can cause mechanical damage. Once the peak loads are identified, the gun-shock software is used as a job-design tool to modify both the gun string and bottomhole assembly to lower the peak loads to force values that are manageable.
Debris from perforation can pose problems during TCP and well cleanup operations. Using INsidr technology significantly reduces debris volume as confirmed with official API RP 19B Section 5 debris tests.
