Vertical Safety Device to Prohibit Accidental Perforating Gun Detonation, TCP International Perforating Symposium Amsterdam 2015 Authored by: Bradley Vass Presented by: Stanley McCombie Owen Oil Tools IPS-15-11 (Patent Pending*)
2
IPS-15-11 Overview of typical CT gun string characteristics Case history of perforating guns detonating in the lubricator or in vertical portion of horizontal wells during Coiled Tubing (CT) operations Development of a device to meet customer safety requirements to prevent vertical detonations during CT operations Overall testing from prototyping to customer use
3
IPS-15-11 Shear Pins Percussion Initiator Firing Pin Perforating Gun
4
IPS-15-11 Firing Head Perforating Gun 1 Perforating Gun 2 Transfer Sub Time Delay Fuse
5
IPS-15-11 Example of damaged lubricator due to perforating gun detonation Multiple detonations have occurred in the lubricator
6
IPS-15-11 Average of 6 – 8 perforating guns inside lubricator per CT operation
7
IPS-15-11 VIDEO
8
Multiple detonations have occurred in the vertical portion of the well during CT operations in U.S. horizontal shale plays Unwanted perforating damage compromises vertical casing No knowledge of guns detonating while tripping into the well IPS-15-11
9
Impact Input High Order Output IPS-15-11 System relies on the interrupters ability to disrupt the shockwave Stops the shock transfer from the initiator to the perforating gun
10
IPS-15-11 While in vertical orientation the interrupter is in a “no-fire” position (Patent Pending*)
11
IPS-15-11 Once the system reaches the horizontal portion of the well the interrupter allows for successful initiation transfer (Patent Pending*)
12
TestingVertical Inverted Vertical HorizontalInclination 30°Inclination 60° InternalXXXXX IPS-15-11 Multiple Tests at various orientations and inclinations. Released to the industry after 6 months of successful field testing.
13
Demand for a safety device after multiple vertical detonations in the lubricator and in the vertical portion of horizontal well Developed an inline interruption device for coiled tubing perforating operations in horizontal wells Currently being utilized in U.S. Horizontal Shale Wells
