Hydromechanical

piercing perforation

Oil service innovation technologies

 The value of qualitative perforation during the secondary development
of the stratum is well known. The usage of hydromechanical piercing
perforation solves the following problems:
 Creation of completely qualitative hydrodynamic connection of the
oil well and the stratum;
 Maximum safety of the pipe casing and cement sheath outside of
the development interval.

The result of the piercing perforation application is:

 Full realization of the stratum potential;
 Long-term operation of the object without watering;
 Increase of overhaul intervals.

 Quality
 It allows to increase the area of string development
Time saving for work
 Work package is carried out without raising
of the perforator from the oil-well, repair- considerably in comparison with other perforation
technologies;
 Hydraulic giants are located in the blades. It allows to erode
and-insulating operations and acid treatment
are fulfilled with the perforator. This can
help to save time and costs on the round- caverns outside the string so that their sizes increase
significantly;
 Worked out strings are different: both simple D, K, E and
trip;
 The time needed for making a hole in a
strong P-110, Q-125;
 The integrity of cement sheath above and below perforation
casing pipe is approximately 5 seconds. That
allows to save time of a casing pipe
development in the contrast with other zone remains, that excludes the possibility of behind-the-
casing flow;
 The integrity of the string, its resistance and geometry
methods of spare perforation;
 Operational well input speeds up.
remain;
 The usage of piercing perforator promotes more effective
hydraulic fracturing.

Safety
 There are no explosives
Economic efficiency
 After work there are no costs on reintegration of cement
 There is no impingement attack on the sheath and string;
production string during the development  Repair costs are decreased because of reduction of work
(explosive level is zero);
 Work is carried out at any time of the day;
time;
 Repair standing period is also reduced.
 There is no risk of perforator jam in the oil-well.

 Disadvantages of cumulative perforation:
 It can cause the destruction of casing pipe and matrix not only inside the perforation interval
 Behind-the-casing-flows take place
 There is a probability of low-quality ports because of absence of centering system
 Not all cumulative charges work
 Concerning terrigenous rocks, there is a possibility of creation of glass elements which can cause obstruction of
deckman string
 It can cause deformation of production string
 It creates a blocking area in the bottomhole formation zone which consists of boundary mudding and infiltrate
parts
 System of slots in the production string cannot include a great number of fluid-conducting channels and drainage
areas in its development

Disadvantages of slot perforation:

 When casing pipe development, they usually make one or two slots located in one plane that does not allow to
resist mining pressure, the dozens of MPa for a long time. As a result, after application of this technology
geological effect is of short-term, but impaired lining well remains, causing a large probability of collapse of the
production string
 String load factor for the filter zone is not less than 1.3, so the slot should be implemented such way that the
voltage in the pipes will increase by 30% maximum. In terms of this the slot length should not exceed a half of the
perforated string radius and it is impossible to create a slot length of 3,5 - 4,5 cm
 Long slots creation is most unsafe in the sandy wells where the axial load can be high because of ground and
string friction factor
 One more technological disadvantage of this perforator is inevitable overcut depending on the depth of the
inputted elements, that can cause cracking of the matrix in the perforation zone and deterioration of casing pipe
resistance.
