Pump Down

Impact Selector introduces monitoring and flexibility to pump down operations. See real time cable head tension. Use addressable release tools for multi-stage perforating, or single safety release. And free stuck toolstrings even in the horizontal with a ballistic jar. Combine all of these tools in one string to take greater control.

    • Deploy longer perforating guns in deviated wells.

    • Verifies plug setting and release.

    • Eliminates uncertainty when activating a cable release device.

      Impact Selector’s SMART Sens is a wireline tension monitoring device which maximizes efficiency and minimizes risk during challenging wireline operations. SMART Sens provides a real time downhole cable tension measurement which eliminates uncertainty and gives the operator increased control.

      Maintaining safe cable tension downhole is challenging in highly deviated and lateral wells because surface measurements do not account for friction. If the cable tension is allowed to become too low, then slack cable and released torque can cause cable damage. If the tension is allowed to become too high, during pump down operations for example, the weak point can be unintentionally broken. Increased visibility of downhole events such as plug setting and perforating guns firing can be valuable also where surface tension readings are inconclusive.

      The SMART Sens is a robust and proven tool which is straightforward to use in the field. “Plug and Play’ compatibility with Warrior means that many service companies can use this tool directly with no additional surface equipment.

      • Compatible with Warrior Well Logging System

        • Compatible with addressable and percussion switches

        • Retrievable Head using conventional fishing overshot or internal spear

        Benefits:

        • Intended for use with jars in high impact / perforating environments.

        • Unlimited number of release tools can be positioned anywhere in the tool string to mitigate risk.

          For oilfield operators and service providers running wireline and perforating technologies in horizontal or highly deviated wells, where there is a high risk that the tool string could get stuck and wire could break, the Spitfire™ Release Tool is a wireline ballistic release technology that provides are liable option for detaching from the stuck tool string on command using a frangible joint.

          Unlike other wireline release technologies which are less reliable due to weaker, pressure activated release mechanisms that routinely result in unintended releases, the Spitfire™ incorporates a high strength frangible joint that requires booster detonation and will not release on loss of pressure containment of the tool string.

          The high tensile strength of the Spitfire™ Release Tool makes it suitable for use in high impact perforating environments and allows it to be placed anywhere in the tool string, even below perforating guns and in conjunction with jars.

          The Spitfire Release tool ensures that the cable is retrieved out of the hole each time, mitigating the risk of stuck tools and expensive fishing operations.

                Benefits:

                • Hi Jar™ provides high downhole impact at any deviation.

                • The impact will break all plug setting tool shear pins.

                • Detonator can be replaced in minutes due to split ring design.

                  The HI Jar™ is a single time intensive gathered energy Horizontal Jar that provides a single jarring force to a stuck tool string.

                  Designed to provide a high intensity jarring force in long horizontals where wireline cable tension is not available, the HI Jar™ serves as insurance to break a faulty plug setting tool shear pin, or free a stuck perforating gun.

                  It accomplishes this by storing energy in a vacuum chamber that is released using a standard detonator. The wellbore fluid pressure accelerates a piston (and the upper tool string) upward before hitting a hard stop, shocking the lower tool string upward.

                  The HI Jar™ will ensure that a stuck tool string is retrieved from the hole each time, preventing stuck tool strings, and expensive fishing operations.

                      Relative Bearing Tool is a ballistic-rated wireline real-time data measurement device that verifies downhole toolstring orientation.

                      The high resolution, solid state3 axis accelerometers provide the industry's most straight forward measurement for validating gun orientation prior to initiating gun firing, thereby allowing time for gun repositioning and/or understanding the actual shot direction, giving you a whole new level of control.

                      As oriented perforating becomes more important, especially where fiber lines and alignment is critical, the Relative Bearing Tool gives you insight on where to perforate PRIOR to the shot.

                              As an integral part of Impact Selector’s Intelligent Conveyance Solutions, pre-job modeling provides the service company and operator with insights into optimum tool string design, wire selection and other operational fundamentals.

                              The results of pre-job modelling such as availability of overpull at target depth can be used to calculate the best setting for an open or cased hole wireline jar to avoid accidental firing when pulling out of hole, but ensure the jar will fire before maximum pull at surface is reached.

                              Impact Selector has conducted in-house testing to measure the friction reduction capabilities of our Roller Bogie and I-Wheel tools when strategically placed along any wireline tool string. When the results of these tests are combined with the ability to reduce the resistive frictional forces of independent tools in a computer model the output clearly demonstrates and quantifies the benefits of roller systems.
