Abstract:An instrumented, powered, and nonexplosive mechanical punching system with full surface control is presented to demonstrate the benefits and limitations of such systems versus traditional explosives and/or nonpowered mechanical punching systems. The paper will consider design criteria, performance, real-time outputs, flow areas, and operational risk factors when evaluating the different punching systems.
The oil industry has run many forms of explosive and nonexplosive punching or perforating as… Show more
