Perforating Myths & Misconceptions:
1. It is okay to pick a system from the catalogue: that is API-witnessed data
Probably the most common mistake is picking a perforating system based on the manufacturer’s catalogue. Many well completion programs call for a minimum depth of penetration and a minimum entry hole diameter. This leaves the service company to select the lowest cost system that meets or exceeds the required performance criteria. Unfortunately this guarantees very little in terms of downhole performance or, critically, well performance. Almost all data published by perforating system manufacturers are generated by one of three test methods:
API Recommended Practice 19B, Section 1 (system performance test).
API Recommended Practice 43, Section 1 (system performance test).
Quality control test
Superior test methods are available to manufacturers and consumers but require a greater investment of time and effort. Within API RP19B, Sections 2 and 4 describe tests that use natural rock targets under stress conditions representative of the reservoir. The Section 2 test involves a single shot into stressed Berea Sandstone to determine tunnel geometry (penetration and diameter), while the Section 4 test involves pre-characterisation of a rock core, followed by a single shot under representative stress conditions and a flow experiment to determine the efficacy of the perforation tunnel that has been created. These tests are clearly superior to the Section 1 tests generally used to benchmark perforating systems, but for reasons of cost and complexity they are seldom used in system selection.The problem of system selection is further compounded by simulation software that predicts downhole penetration from a correlation between catalogue data (performance into unstressed cement targets) and target formation characteristics. While these correlations may have some validity for moderate strength sandstones, they do a poor job of predicting downhole performance in the multitude of other rock types commonly encountered in today’s wellbores.
Recommendation: Take care when using catalogue data as reference criteria. The less the target rock looks like moderate strength sandstone, the greater the risk of suboptimal performance in situ and the more value that can be derived from dedicated lab tests to help identify the best system for your application.

Nine announces exclusive partnership with GEODynamics to provided the FracDock Intervention-free Frac System with dissolvable ball in North America.
HOUSTON – August 17, 2015 – Nine Energy Service, Inc. (Nine) Completion Tool Division and GEODynamics, Inc. (GEODynamics) announced jointly today that they have entered into an agreement whereby Nine will be the exclusive provider of GEODynamics’ FracDock™ Intervention-free Frac System and associated GEOBall™ Dissolvable Ball in North America. The patented FracDock Intervention-free Frac System is a game-changing technology replacing frac plugs in plug and perf operations. Designed to minimize subsequent coiled tubing well intervention procedures, FracDock eliminates the need to drill out plugs, and allows for limited risk of premature plug setting. As the largest ID frac plug on the market, Operators can re-enter the well bore if needed with coiled tubing or production tubing, driving down costs and mitigating safety hazards.
“We are excited to introduce new technology that will allow our customers to complete wells at a lower cost,” said Ann Fox, President and CEO of Nine. “This agreement also helps solidify our strategic partnership with GEODynamics. As two leading independent providers, the blending of GEODynamics’ design, engineering and manufacturing expertise with Nine’s service quality and execution, will bring tremendous value to our customers moving forward.”
Chris Payson, President of US Completions, and an EVP for Nine, added, “FracDock is a unique technology unlike anything in the market today. Eliminating the need for our customers to drill out plugs enables them to optimize their spend by reducing completion times and transitioning the well to production quicker. Some 5.5” tool sizes have larger than a 4.00 inch ID, and all of the 5.5” tools developed to date have a large enough bore to allow Operators to use 2-7/8” production tubing for life of well operations for future cost reductions.”
David Wesson, GEODynamics’ President and CEO stated, “Nine’s well completions expertise and solid reputation is the perfect fit to introduce GEODynamics’ most recent well-completion innovation to the North American market. As the industry seeks to reduce and save costs at every turn, we believe operators will be well served by the quality and efficiencies of this partnership.”
Phil Snider, GEODynamics’ Completions Advisor, and FracDock Product Champion, added, “We owe a debt of gratitude to the two Operators willing to provide the initial trial wells for the technology development. They had the vision to help support the project and will benefit because of it. The combined engineering and operations team learned a tremendous amount from these wells to improve the tool designs and improve performance for Operators. We gained significant insight into factors effecting dissolving/degradable materials that many people didn’t recognize as being important. We will continue to foster these relationships, as field trials will remain critical to upcoming completion tools development projects we envision.”

THERE’S ALWAYS ANOTHER SIDE TO THE STORY … DOES FRAC’ING ACTUALLY SAVE WATER?
There’s a fascinating report on Hart Energy’s Unconventional Gas Center today (www.ugcenter.com) that describes new research showing hydraulic fracturing actually has an environmental benefit. Kristie Sotolongo reports that UT Austin researchers have determined that for every gallon of water used to fracture a well in pursuit of natural gas, Texas saves 33 gallons of water by using that gas for electricity generation rather than producing the same amount of power from coal. Although this is based on the hypothetical scenario where all of Texas’ 423 power plants would be natural gas fired (whereas only about 50% actually are today), it certainly highlights the opportunity natural gas presents for resource optimization if a long-term commitment is made to switch power generation to natural gas fuel. From a Texas perspective, this is about making the state’s power supply less susceptible to drought. In 2011, the state’s water reservoir levels depleted to historical lows under severe drought conditions, threatening water supply to power generation facilities as well as for human consumption. In the bigger picture, hydraulic fracturing needs to be seen as an enabling technology in the wider development of natural gas – and prevalent natural gas, in turn, as an enabler in reducing environmental impact and water consumption. Not exactly the story we hear in the news every day, right?

THE TOP 10 NATIONS IN TERMS OF PER-CAPITA OIL RESERVES
This week Forbes published an interesting slide deck discussing the top 10 nations in terms of per-capita oil reserves. It offers a stark illustration as to how actual per-capita income, employment, and levels of poverty don’t necessarily correlate with oil wealth. In the USA, where mineral rights are often held by individual land owners, it’s hard to conceive how such tremendous national resources can be developed without returning benefit to the population.
