Completions just became infinitely easier. The FlowGun well completion system from Nine Energy Service offers completely interventionless, casing-conveyed perforating technology. In one groundbreaking system, you now have greater efficiency, control and flexibility
Efficiency and flexibility in one tool
FlowGun™ Completion Technology from Nine features a pressure-activated toe sleeve that eliminates the need for wireline or coiled tubing.
Over 95% rate of successful detonation
after installing hundreds of FlowGun Systems across North America.
Blowing holes in the preconceptions of what a perforating tool can be
A true innovation, the FlowGun well completion system from Nine offers a safe and cost-effective advantage to your stage-1 completions. Completely interventionless, this casing-conveyed perforating technology offers infinite efficiency, control, and flexibility.
ON-TARGET PERFORATION
The FlowGun boosts the efficiency of a traditional open hole, multistage ball drop perforating system by allowing greater frac location control within a cemented horizontal wellbore. Perforation modules can be deployed at desired intervals along the casing string, and fracs initiate during the installation of the liner. Pressure-activated, the FlowGun system eliminates the need to run wireline or coil tubing and requires no electronic detonation. It provides:
- Enhanced production efficiency
- Greater mechanical reliability
- Faster completions
- Superior safety
EXTENDED CAPABILITIES
With FlowGun, you can extend your wellbore reach past 18,000 feet, beyond coil-tubing and wireline limitations. Much like a plug ‘n’ perf design, the system can be configured to convey a single or multiple modules. No sleeves to shift, exposing formation. No wet shoe required. Just unfettered operational performance.
A FASTER PATH TO PRODUCTION
The bottom hole assembly is conveyed into the wellbore, taking FlowGun clusters to targeted depths. After the wellbore is cemented, the first stage is pressure activated and perf charges are fired. In four hours, you can pressure test surface iron and wellbore, detonate guns, displace acid and place stage one.
ENHANCED SAFETY, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Offering a highly controlled perforating process, the FlowGun system can help you enhance safety and mitigate wellsite hazards. With no electronic detonators, there’s no risk of surface or premature detonation. FlowGun clusters cannot detonate electronically, eliminating premature firing due to stray voltage. FlowGun technology further supports safe operations by:
- Reducing overhead loads
- Requiring fewer wellsite personnel for operation
- Reducing trucking hours and third-party services
- Minimizing environmental impact
INTERVENTIONLESS INNOVATION
The FlowGun well completion system manages several downhole jobs with one tool and one crew—dramatically boosting efficiency by eliminating an entire phase of the completion process. Offering accuracy, flexibility and reliability, the FlowGun can help:
- Reduce costs
- Increase frac control
- Enhance wellsite safety
- Improve rig-to-market efficiency
When you’re ready for a new direction in horizontal drilling, the FlowGun from Nine can get you there.
A PROVEN PERFORMER
We have installed hundreds of FlowGun systems, achieving a 100 percent rate of successful detonation. In fact, of the jobs set up for a first full stage, all but one were successfully fracked—and that one was still unsuccessful after numerous re-perf attempts.
BETTER SOLUTION AT A LOWER COST
By choosing FlowGun over traditional wireline or coil-tubing solutions, you’re getting a solution that’s statistically more effective. Better yet, you eliminate an entire phase of the completion process, along with all the associated costs. That means you’re not paying for additional water, tank trucking, BOP rental, coil tubing, chemicals, crew and labor. Contact your local sales representative for pricing.
TWO GUNS, NO CONTEST
The FlowGun comes in two available models, based on your application requirements.
Features
- Perforated toe sleeve features industry-proven pressure-test function
- Pressure activated system eliminates the risk of surface or premature detonation
- All components rigorously inspected, with detailed checklists for every assembly
- Reduced crew and infrastructure minimizes environmental impact
What is FlowGun’s success rate?
We have installed hundreds of FlowGun systems and have achieved greater than a 95 percent rate of successful detonation—100 percent with our newest model. In fact, of all the jobs set up for a first full stage, all but one were successfully fracked—and that one was still unsuccessful even after numerous re-perf attempts.
How does the FlowGun system detonate?
Instead of electric charges, the FlowGun System uses pressure-actuated detonation. This means there is no risk of surface or premature detonation. FlowGun clusters cannot detonate electronically, eliminating the possibility of premature firing due to stray voltage.
How much time will I save?
Considerable, given that you have eliminated an entire phase of the completion process. From the time you begin the pressure test of the wellbore, through detonation, to reservoir access takes less than one hour. In one day, our customers have finished as many as six completions, which is roughly six times faster than a standard TCP with cleanout.
