Wellpro Overbalance Tubing Conveyed Perforation Solutions Creates Pathway from Reservoir Into Wellbore Using 4-5/8” 12spf hmx sh Charges
Background
- A Major IOC is required to carry out overbalance perforation to access a reservoir on one one of their land wells
- The deployment was planned as a single run of 100ft of perforating guns
- Wellpro TCP Guns were loaded as per client perforation intervals and mobilized to location along with firing heads and ancillary equipment
Operation
- 4-5/8” Guns loaded 12 SPF with HMX Super Hole charges at 30-degree-degree phasing were prepared as per the client-provided intervals
- The guns were made up of a Mechanical Firing head with a drop bar firing system
- As per safety protocol, sufficient spacers were run on the top gun as well as to separate the upper and lower peroration intervals
- The BHA was run in the well along with 7” OMNI packers and all other ancillary tools
- On correlating the guns to depth with the Correlation Pup Joint, the firing bar was dropped from the surface to activate the firing head and detonate the guns.
Achievement
- The perforating guns were positioned on depth in both runs and detonated successfully with sufficient surface indication
- Upon pulling out of the hole, all shots were fired and in scallop.
- Total Interval of 40 feet was perforated with the HMX Super hole charge creating large entry hole and deep penetration for maximum reservoir production
