Owen’s KODIAK Enhanced Perforating SystemTM combines perforating and well stimulation in one operation. KODIAK has been developed to address a broader range of potential applications. The system integrates specifically designed perforating charges with a new energetic material. The detonation of the perforating charges initiates a complex, sequentially burning reaction of the energetic material generating a high pressure gas pulse. This pulse initiates and propagates fractures into the surrounding reservoir improving production/injection performance.
As compared to existing StimGun products, the KODIAK system requires substantially less fluid tamp in the well. As little as 100 ft (31 m) of fluid is required. External rings and centralizers are not required, allowing stimulation of wells with complex casing configurations. The high temperature rating of the energetic material also increases the range of potential applications.
