WPP Wireline Perforating Platform

The WPP Wireline Perforating Platform integrates a rugged arsenal of sensors and actuators for optimizing well productivity while perforating. Use of the WPP platform maximizes flexibility inpositioning perforating guns and enables real-time monitoring of results. Safer, more reliable perforating results from the system’s intelligent control of the downhole power supply.

WPP oriented perforating service provides single-trip conveyance and orientation of perforating guns on wireline, coiled tubing, or a tractor system through tubing into vertical or deviated wells. The WPP motor system rotates the guns into firing position relative to the preferred fracture plane to optimize hydraulic fracturing operations.

The completion imaging configuration of the WPP platform is used to shoot through a tubing string in a multiple completion without hitting parallel strings. The "mapper” tool’s multiple completion string detection and selective shooting of multiple guns provides perforation and production access to reservoirs that would otherwise require a costly and time-consuming workover.

Borehole temperature and pressure data can be acquired by the WPP platform before, during, and after perforating. Interpretation of these real-time data can provide a good indication of the formation pressure and reservoir parameters (permeability and skin effect) to guide operations. Data acquisition is not interrupted by detonator initiation. Up to 20 guns can be connected to the bottom of the tool for selective firing through the use of addressable switch technology.
