SHALE COMPLETIONS IMPROVEMENTS 

The increasing Importance of Perforation Technology & Use of a Perforation Toolbox

The shale revolution has come about due to two enabling technologies: horizontal wells and hydraulic fracturing. More recently there has been an increasing emphasis on research into perforations and the role they play in proppant transport, fracture initiation and subsequent proppant placement.

GEODYNAMICS OFFERS HELLFIRE PERFORATING SYSTEM

GEODynamics, Inc. introduces the new patented HELLFire perforating system, a revolutionary solution that allows the oil and gas industry to more effectively complete multi-stage plug-and-perf operations. At 9.5-in total length per cluster, the short-bodied system eliminates tool string length and delivers more clusters per stage. Increasing cluster count per stage will make better wells, as differences due to same stage formation variation are mitigated.

GEODYNAMICS INTRODUCES SPECIALIZED PERFORATING SYSTEMS FOR REMEDIAL CEMENTING, CIRCULATION

ISOLOC perforating systems are used to establish communication between two or more strings of tubing or casing. The systems greatly improve cement plugging, squeeze and circulation operations with controlled damage to the secondary or tertiary string. Perforating for remedial cementing operations without damaging the outer strings of casing is an essential element to efficient plug and abandonment (P&A) and well circulation operations.
