RLB-1 Electronic Ball Launcher System The future of sliding sleeve ball delivery systems
The RLB-1 is an electrically powered and electronically (Touchscreen Technology) controlled ball delivery system to dispense balls or activation devices downhole for functioning sliding sleeve type tools commonly used in various completions operations.
Key Features -Both 10,000psi and 15,000psi working pressure rated models -Holds up to 12 balls fully loaded -Electrically powered -Electronically (Touchscreen Technology) controlled -Quick access ports -User friendly and robust control system -Field proven
Design features -Compact platform -Positive displacement ejecting -Simple auger delivery system -Ability to launch up to and including 5in diameter frack balls
Control System -User friendly touchscreen control -Compact design -Internal history and event tracking -Built in ball drop verification system -Clear verification of balls in the ball launcher -Feedback on ball launcher activation -Class 1 Division 1 rated -Redundant protocol to prevent incorrect loading and premature ball launching
Safety Features -RBL-1 keeps all field personnel clear of hazardous area during fracking operations -Remote pressure reading -Seal testing ports -Pressure bleed ports
Shop Testing -Delivery mechanism flawlessly launched thousands of various size frack balls in a shop environment -Pressure cycle tested hundreds of times up to 10,000 psi and test pressure of 15,000 psi as per API 6A -Pressure testing and function testing performed with both water and nitrogen mediums
Benefits Over Other Launchers -Compact platform -Quick loading -Holds 12 balls per level -Electronically controlled -Minimalistic design (Less moving parts) -Provides full, 5-1/8” vertical bore access -Easily functional if power loss occurs with manual override on drive shafts or quick-removable plug to manually drop in the vertical bore
Real Time Well Diagnostic Tool -The system is a diagnostic tool for monitoring and recording surface and downhole events for fracking operations. -It is designed to give a higher level of resolution of the events occurring at surface and downhole, by utilizing various sensing technologies.
Diagnostic Tool Benefits -Field proven results -Displays event data in real time -Events can be labeled manually -Events can be retrieved and replayed at any time and can be archived to document well history -Sampling rate of up to 30,000 samples/second -Class 1 Div. 1 sensing equipment -Compact foot print -Flexible sensor mounting methods -Sensing technology is not exposed to well fluids or conditions -Ability to add other forms of measurement to the system to increase diagnostic capability -Can upload the data through 3G, WiFi or satellite to be viewed/recorded of site.
Frack Package Benefits -Dual Hydraulic Control Remote (H.C.R) valves allows for isolation of the ball launcher, mitigating premature ball failure or degradation -Field proven frack package success -Great North Equipment Ltd. offers complete well solutions from drilling to production
