Packs higher charge performance in a shorter footprint than any
other perforating system
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hunting Energy Services, a subsidiary of Hunting PLC, the international
energy services company, today announced its H-2 Perforating SystemTM
has set a record for number of multiple-shot perforating guns pumped
down into a horizontal well on wireline.
In a recent Delaware Basin field trial with a major U.S. land operator,
the H-2 Perforating System was utilized to successfully run
45 perforating guns, each with three shots on a single plane, in
conjunction with a plug in a single run.
On previous wells before H-2 became available, the operator had to make
two separate runs to complete a stage with 45 guns due to length
restrictions. As the shortest perforating gun on the market
(7.5-inches), the H-2 system allows more than double the number of guns
per run compared to conventional perforating systems. The patent pending
H-2 Perforating System is available in 3⅛-in. outer diameter and capable
of shooting three shots on a single-plane in 4½-in. or 5½ -in. casing.
The field trials were successful with over 200 H-2 perforating guns run
on multiple wells. Stimulation performance resulting from conventional
perforating gun runs were compared to that of H-2 perforating gun runs
on the same wells. In all cases, running H-2 with EQUAfrac® consistent
hole shaped charges on the same plane resulted in equal fluid
distribution through more entry holes per stage. This method reduced the
required stimulation treatment pressure compared to stages utilizing
conventional perforating systems. Reduction in treatment pressure ranged
from 600 to 1500 psi lower when stimulating H-2 stages, providing
significant savings to the operator.
Not only is the H-2 system the shortest perforating system on the
market, it is also a completely plug and play system utilizing the H-2
charge puck and ControlFire® cartridge technology,
eliminating arming subs, wire connections, and detonating cord. This
state-of-the-art technology provides the most efficient gun loading,
arming, and assembly processes whether in the facility or in the field.
