New technology
•Unified-perforation type perforating technology
•After perforated by DPEX perforating bullet, the trajectory will be cleaned automatically. Oriented perforating technology
•Pressure tapping as long as perforating technology
Unified-perforation type perforating bullet
Ordinary perforating bullet
Principle of unified-perforation type perforating

Perforating bullet
The explosive for all the perforating
bullets are the same: RDX\HMX\PYX
Different perforating bullets only differ
in the design of liner and cartridge
Unified-perforation type perforating bullet
•The design of liner angle differs from that
of ordinary perforating bullet; it can control the explosive within energy
collection and scattering
•After ignition, the set flow will be in the
shape of column and launched toward the ground
•If the set flow is launched in the shape of
column, different-phase casing and formation bore size will be consistent
without centering guide
•Lots of tests have been implemented to find
proper angle for liner
Ordinary perforating bullet
•The design of liner makes the explosive
more energy-gathered
•After ignition, the set flow will be in the
shape of cone and launched toward the ground
DPEX self-cleaning perforating bullet
Principle of self-cleaning perforating
bullet
Perforating bullet
•The explosive for all the perforating
bullets are the same: RDX\HMX\PYX
•Different perforating bullets only differ
in the design of liner and cartridge
Self-cleaning perforating bullet
•Reactive metal material is adopted for the
liner
•After perforating, exothermic reaction of reactive
metal material will occur in the trajectory along with the jet flow
•After exothermic reaction, ultrahigh
pressure will be generated in the trajectory, so the perforating fragments will
flow back to the shaft along with the fluid
•The ultrahigh pressure in the trajectory
will last for a while, so the fragments in the trajectory will be cleaned up
and the trajectory will be clean
Ordinary perforating bullet
•Inert metal material is adopted for the
liner
•After perforating, the liner will melt or
be blasted into fragments
Oriented perforating
Oriented perforating technology: can
realize oriented perforating of different positions while descending the well
for once. Previously, to realize the oriented perforating of a position, the
operator shall descend the well for three times: for the first time, he shall
set the bridge plug with locationing slot; for the second time, he shall lower
the gyroscope to measure the relative azimuth of the locationing slot; for the
third time, he shall put the perforating gun into the locationing slot can
start perforating. Now, to realize oriented perforating of different positions,
we just need to descend the well for only once.
Pressure tapping as
long as perforating
Pressure tapping as long as perforating(PWP)
technology: A. Record the rapid pressure response; B. Detect the peak pressure
and under-balance pressure while perforating; C. Determine the fracture
pressure and cleaning pressure; D. Evaluate the oil well energy efficiency and
the necessity of re-perforating; E. Calculate the near-borehole permeability
within 5-30 s after perforating gun launching.

Construction effect
The max. pumping pressure of the first
section of JY31-3HF well is 82Mpa; and there is no leakage in the Hunting
105Mpa wellhead blowout control equipment.
Performance
Since 2012, totally completed over 618 wells at about 6700 level in Jiaoshi area, North China Bureau area, extended area, East China Bureau, Northeast Bureau and Puguang area.The companys outstanding performance in perforating has been well recognized and praised by party A, it even expresses its thanks by visiting our company.
