Tcp Firing Heads And Hardware
Dual Top Annulus Differential Pressure Firing Head
The Dual Top Annulus Differential Pressure Firing Head uses differential pressure across the packer to actuate the firing head.
Product summary
The Dual Top Annulus Differential Pressure Firing Head uses differential pressure across the packer to actuate the firing head.
The Dual Top Annulus Differential Pressure Firing Head uses differential pressure across the packer to actuate the firing head. It also allows the option to include the Drop Bar Hydrostatic Firing Head as a redundancy.
The system is run with the Packer Bypass Assembly and uses control lines to transmit annular pressure above the packer down to the differential pressure activated firing head. The actuating piston for the differential firing head is held within a retainer sleeve by precision shear pins. The number of pins used is based on well conditions and desired safety factor.
It is ideal for DST operations where underbalanced perforating is desired. Also, wells that have existing perforations in them as no firing head activation pressures can enter the formation causing reservoir damage.
The Drop Bar Hydrostatic Firing Head is sold separately. Please refer to its data sheet for detailed specifications.
Applications
TCP perforating operations
Drillstem Testing (DST) operations
Conducting TCP operations in wells with open perforations
Underbalance perforating
Features
Packer must be correctly set to achieve initiation
Designed to API RP-67 (Oilfield Explosive Safety) guidelines
Uses existing Drop Bar and Direct Pressure Firing Head components
Benefits
Provides a complete backup solution in case of misfire of primary system
Enhanced safety as cannot be detonated at surface or without proper seal from packer
