Instrumented docking perforating gun system

Improves completion efficiency and productivity by integrating plug-in guns, selective perforating, and real-time advanced downhole measurements

The Tempo™ instrumented docking perforating gun system is the industry’s first perforating gun system to fully integrate a plug‑in gun with real‑time advanced downhole measurements obtained throughout the operation. This unique combination significantly mitigates operational risk while increasing safety, reliability, and efficiency. By generating and confirming dynamic underbalance in the well, the Tempo system effectively removes perforation debris to optimize productivity.

• Supports hollow carrier perforating gun systems
• Deploys both deep penetrating and big hole shaped charges

• Integrates with PURE™ clean perforations system and P3™ postperforating treatment
• Measures with a powered casing collar locator (CCL)
• Deploys with wireline, pumpdown, e-coil, or tractor conveyance
• Provides real-time pressure, temperature, and gamma ray (GR) measurements
• Temperature: up to 375 degF
• Pressure rating: up to 25,000 psi

Mitigate risks with compact, built-in safety plug-in design

The proprietary docking components of the compact plug-in gun design simplify assembly and eliminate the major causes of perforating misfires: technique-sensitive crimping and wiring. The system can streamline the deployment of up to 40 plug-in guns for selective initiation to efficiently perforate multiple intervals in a single descent into the well. Both single and selective perforating guns can be quickly armed offline to further support operational safety and efficiency.

Achieve clean perforations with high-precision measurements and dynamic underbalance

The complete suite of real-time data acquired by the Tempo system makes it possible to confirm and optimize perforating design and execution. The ruggedized technology obtains pressure, temperature, casing collar locator, and optional gamma ray before, during, and after perforating without the need for a shock absorber.

Exact gun placement is ensured by the dual correlation capabilities, and new high-precision pressure measurements verify the intrinsic application of dynamic underbalance for creating clean perforations that drive productivity. The Tempo system also accurately measures high-speed dynamic shock, which is a critical input parameter to help validate modeling for future operations.
