Horizontal Perforating System Sets World Record, Optimizes
Production and Saves $195,000 in Rig Time
Location
North Sea
Objectives
- Perforate a 1490m net
interval with
2246m of horizontal well
- Orient guns to minimize
sand production and optimize production rates
- Perforate interval in
one trip
- Minimize debris for
future well operations
System
- HOPSSM –
Horizontal Oriented Perforating System with Speed Lift
Clamps from Baker Atlas and Baker Oil Tools
- 4 1⁄2-in. DP PERFFORM
Charges oriented 0-180 degrees, 5 spf, Tubing Conveyed
- 28ft gun sections for
faster total trip time and increased effective reservoir
coverage.
- 188 swivel connectors to
rotate guns to proper orientation
Result
-
Met client’s objectives of minimal debris and sand
production
-
28ft. guns optimized effective perforations across
reservoir
-
All guns detonated successfully, all 23,180 charges
fired, with verified correct orientation
-
World record for longest “oriented” horizontal gun
system shot in one trip
-
Deployed in one trip, saving 52 hours rig time
-
Total rig time savings: $195,000
