Universal firing head (UFH)

Application:

Triggering the tubing type jet perforators in the wells filled with water, oil or other drilling fluid.

The firing head is compatible with the perforating systems PKO 63-AT, PKO 73-AT, PKO 89-AT, PKO 102-AT, PKO 114-AT in a firing circuit beginning with a percussion initiator PI BVT or another device similar to the PI in its susceptibility to detonation. The firing head is activated mechanically (hydraulicly).

Advantages and features:

increased handling safety provided by the design of the firing head;
reliability provided by the design of the head and the percussion initiator PI BVT;
workability after a long exposure to high pressure and temperature;
efficient operation in the wells of any curvature: vertical, horizontal and directional;
possibility of creating depression in the hydraulic system of the well and the reservoir, if necessary;
accidental actuation is excluded when the charged head is at the wellhead at a pressure not exceeding 1.5 MPa;
compatibility with any equipment used in perforating systems (adapters, sludge traps, etc.);
a reliable fuse excludes the possibility of accidental initiation of the layout by geophysical equipment;
possibility of flushing the well through the circulation holes, possibility of formation fluid entering the tubing after perforation.
