Hunting Introduces Perforating Gun Orientation Tool

Titan Division of Hunting Energy Services, a subsidiary of Hunting PLC, the international energy services company, today introduced its new High Side Indicator (HSI) perforating gun orientation tool.

The HSI’s three-axis accelerometer indicates the relative bearing and inclination of the downhole tool string during oriented perforating applications where eccentric weights are utilized to orient the guns. Real-time surface data from the tool confirms the guns’ orientation, and locking collars orient the guns toward or away from the target.

The tool is compatible with Hunting’s ControlFire® switch system and negative voltage perforating operations. HSI OD is 2-3/4 in. It is temperature rated to 350°F, and has a maximum pressure rating of 20,000 psi.
