PerfXtender™  Propellent Deflagration Perforating System
Innovation Revealed:
The PerfXtender™ system provides a cost-effective, versatile, and efficient means of stimulating oil and gas wells. Utilizing the deflagration of solid propellant to generate large volumes of high-pressure, the Perf-X-Tender system induces multiple fractures in the formation, increases formation permeability for improved reservoir communication and flow of hydrocarbons. Four sizes of propellant and tools are available for a variety of applications at your site.
Applications:
  • Clean out of casing perforations and mitigation of near-wellbore damage from drilling, cementing, and perforating operations.
  • Treatment of targeted intervals in vertical and horizontal wells to increase the effectiveness of subsequent fracturing operations.
  • Formation breakdown treatments prior to hydraulic fracturing.
  • Stimulation of mature wells where migration of fines, scaling, wax buildup, or other conditions have reduced near-wellbore permeability and well productivity.
  • Increased injectivity in water injection wells to lower pumping costs in secondary recovery and water disposal applications.
  • Stimulation of wells with productive formations in close proximity to potential water production.


OPERATIONS:

The PerfXtender™ system can be conveyed into the wellbore on either wireline or tubing. This tool can also be run in tandem with a perforating gun or as propellant alone for open holes or in pre-perfed wellbores. The system comes in a variety of sizes and configurations for both through-tubing applications or for use in wells where the tubing has been pulled. This modularized system allows the combination of multiple propellant grains for the effective treatment of virtually any productive interval thickness. The PerfXtender™ system also allows for ease of assembly by service company personnel.
