Stimulation Products
The STIMGUN® technology is best understood as an engineered job design process
that integrates the use of the products with computer modeling known as PulsFrac™
and using the high speed gauge for data acquisition. That is where the science gives
STIMGUN® the advantage. Unlike others, the STIMGUN® technology takes into
account well fluids, well mechanics and rock properties to select the optimum tool
for each application.
The STIMGUN® family of products currently consist of three tool configurations:
- STIMGUN® assembly,
a special molded sleeve of non-explosive propellant material (resembles PVC pipe)
that is placed over a scalloped perforating gun assembly, which allows perforation
and near wellbore stimulation, all at one time. This can be run on TCP, Wireline
or Coil and is available in multiple OD’s.
- STIMTUBE®
tool consists of a molded tube of non-explosive propellant material which has an
inner metal perforated tube that is loaded with a 40 gr/ft detonating cord.
Available in multiple OD’s, it is run on Wireline, in wellbores that have
already been perforated. STIMTUBE® is positioned across these perforations
so when the oxidizer is ignited, creates a quick burst of high pressure.
- KODIAK Enhanced Perforating System™
is available in a 3-1/8" and 3-3/8" OD 5 spf scalloped perforating
guns. The propellant disk are inserted in between the Premium Owen HERO® SDP
charges, which provides enhanced perforations and stimulation of the near wellbore
all at one time.
- Well Stimulation Tool (WST) - to be released in 2013
These products allow for maximum stimulation design flexibility for a wide range
of well applications. With each of these products, production/injection enhancement
is accomplished through perforation breakdown and near wellbore stimulation.
