Perforating Services
Horizontal Wireline’s perforating services are designed to deliver precision, reliability, and efficiency across a wide range of well drilling and production conditions throughout major U.S. basins, including the Marcellus, Utica, Eagle Ford, Mid-Con, and Permian.
With a strong focus on execution quality and downhole precision, our teams deliver solutions built for complex well environments and demanding completion programs. We combine field-proven experience with modern technology to improve operational control, reduce risk, and support consistent results.
Whether working in extended-reach horizontals, high-angle wells, or challenging reservoir targets, our approach is centered on efficiency, safety, and dependable performance. Backed by decades of industry expertise and a commitment to continuous improvement, Horizontal Wireline helps operators optimize well productivity while maintaining strict standards in service delivery. From planning through execution, our goal is to ensure every job is completed with accuracy, reliability, and a clear focus on maximizing value in the field.
Addressable™ Perforating Systems
Dramatically improving reliability and efficiency, Addressable™ Perforating Systems provide real-time communication and control of the downhole assembly sections during the wireline run. Real-time feedback indicates whether the plugs are set, or the guns have fired. The addressable switches enable the operator to skip guns if any section fails to detonate.
Tubing Conveyed Perforating
Horizontal Wireline's Tubing Conveyed Perforating (TCP) completion process enables perforating extremely long intervals in single runs. In challenging applications, such as extended-reach horizontal and high-angle wells, our TCP solutions control cost and minimize NPT.
With a multitude of firing systems, gun release systems, and accessories, Horizontal Wireline can help design effective perforating applications needed for the completion in all well conditions.
What perforating services does Horizontal Wireline provide?
Horizontal Wireline provides perforating services for a wide range of well conditions and completion programs, including Addressable™ perforating systems and tubing conveyed perforating (TCP). Services are designed for horizontal, high-angle, extended-reach, and other challenging well applications.
What is Addressable™ Perforating?
Addressable™ is a perforating system that provides real-time communication and control of downhole assembly sections during the wireline run. The system provides feedback on plug setting and gun firing and enables operators to skip individual gun sections if a section fails to detonate.
What are the benefits of Addressable™ Perforating Systems?
Addressable™ perforating systems can improve operational control, reliability, and efficiency by providing real-time downhole feedback. Addressable switches also enable operators to selectively skip gun sections when necessary, helping to reduce operational delays and unnecessary trips.
What is Tubing Conveyed Perforating (TCP)?
Tubing Conveyed Perforating (TCP) is a completion method that uses tubing to convey perforating guns into the well. TCP enables operators to perforate extremely long intervals in a single run and is particularly useful in extended-reach horizontal and high-angle wells.
When should TCP be used for perforating?
TCP can be an effective option when perforating long intervals or when well geometry makes conventional wireline operations more challenging. Horizontal Wireline can help evaluate the well conditions, completion requirements, and available firing systems to develop an appropriate TCP application.
Can Horizontal Wireline perforate extended-reach horizontal wells?
Yes. Horizontal Wireline provides perforating solutions for extended-reach horizontal and high-angle wells. Its TCP capabilities can enable extremely long perforated intervals in single runs while helping to control operating costs and minimize non-productive time (NPT).
What firing systems are available for TCP?
Horizontal Wireline offers a variety of firing systems, gun release systems, and accessories for TCP applications. The appropriate configuration can be selected based on well conditions, completion design, perforating requirements, and operational objectives.
What U.S. basins does Horizontal Wireline serve?
Horizontal Wireline provides perforating services across major U.S. oil and gas basins, including the Marcellus, Utica, Eagle Ford, Mid-Continent (Mid-Con), and Permian Basin.
How does Horizontal Wireline improve perforating efficiency?
Horizontal Wireline focuses on downhole precision, operational control, reliability, and minimizing non-productive time. Technologies such as Addressable™ provide real-time feedback during operations, while TCP solutions enable long intervals to be perforated in a single run.
Can Horizontal Wireline help design a perforating application?
Yes. Horizontal Wireline can help design perforating applications based on the well's conditions and completion requirements. This includes selecting appropriate gun configurations, firing systems, gun release systems, and other TCP accessories.
What types of wells can Horizontal Wireline’s perforating services support?
Horizontal Wireline's perforating solutions are designed for a broad range of well conditions, including horizontal, extended-reach horizontal, high-angle, and other challenging well environments.
How does perforating affect well productivity?
Perforating creates controlled openings between the wellbore and formation, providing pathways for hydrocarbons to enter the well during production. Proper perforating design and execution can help operators effectively target reservoir intervals and support overall completion and production objectives.
