FIRING HEADS

Pressure Activated Firing Head (LP)

The Pressure Activated Firing Head (LP) is used where pressure firing is required, including horizontal wells, well stimulation or as a backup firing system.

 

Mechanical Impact Firing Head

The Mechanical Impact Firing Head is designed for applications where there is insufficient hydrostatic well pressure to utilize the safety impact firing systems. However, this Firing Head will operate in hydrostatic pressures up to 20,000 psi.

 

Redundant Annulus Pressure Firing System

The Redundant Annulus Pressure Firing Head was designed to allow underbalance perforating for shoot and pull applications. This tool uses differential pressure across the packer to actuate the firing mechanism.Utilizing the Owen’s Packer Bypass System.

 

Coiled Tubing Safety Impact Firing Head

The Safety Impact Firing Head is designed to run perforating guns, jet cutters or severing tools on coil tubing. The system is actuated by, dropping a ball and pressuring up the tubing. Once the ball is seated, a predetermined pressure is applied to operate on the precision shear pins, after shearing the firing pin strikes the detonator causing the gun to fire.

 

Pressure Activated Time Delay Firing Head

The Pressure Activated Time Delayed Firing Head, permits underbalance perforating through the use of a pressure actuated firing head employing a time delay fuse. The use of the time delay allows for time to bleed the actuating pressure off the tubing, to achieve the desired underbalance prior to firing the guns.

 

Mechanical Firing Head

The Mechanical Firing Head is an economical TCP Firing Head which allows detonation of the gun system by releasing a Slim Nose Drop Bar into the tubing from surface. The Firing Pin is held in the bore of the Firing Head with a Shear Pin which is severed upon impact of the Slim Nose Drop Bar, allowing the Firing Pin to travel downward. The percussion transmitted to the Initiator causes detonation which is transferred to the Gun System.

 

Mechanical Safety Impact Firing Head (HP)

The Mechanical Safety Impact Firing Head is designed to be the primary firing system on all Wide Nose Drop Bar TCP operations. Designed to meet API RP-67 safety recommendations, the Mechanical Safety Impact Firing Heads require both the drop bar action as well as a minimum hydrostatic to fire. Two models are utilized to cover the pressure ranges normally anticipated in TCP operations.
