DynaEnergetics introduces two families of shaped charges for oil and gas companies

German company DynaEnergetics has introduced two new families of shaped charges designed for oil and gas companies to improve well productivity and operational efficiency in unconventional reservoirs. 

The HaloFrac shaped charge line incorporates the company’s new technological advancements in liner materials and shaped charge geometry to improve performance of hydraulic fracturing. 

This line delivers improved reservoir connection and increased total estimated ultimate recovery (EUR), as well as a reduction in well total cost of operations (TCO).

By perforating with HaloFrac tunnel-tip, fractures and ideal reservoir access will be created for hydraulic fracturing fluid. 

This results in lower and consistent breakdown pressures, uniform proppant placement, reduced screenouts, uniform frac clusters and higher well productivity ratios.

Wells perforated with FracTune shaped charge show low variation in flow and pressure across the perforations.

Within the well bore, this line delivers uniform hole diameter in the well casing independent of shot phasing and gun positioning, enabling better hydraulic fracture efficiency and well performance to be achieved.

These new products, HaloFrac and FracTune together with DynaEnergetics’ new DPEX shaped-charge family consist of the company’s advanced line of formation-optimised shaped charges. 

Oil and gas companies can use all these three lines to select the ideal charge for their formation geology and well completion design.
