ControlFire® System

Applications
Features
  • - Selective perforating

    - Single trip plug and shoot

    - Horizontal pump down operations

    - Tractor perforating operations

  • ControlFire Systems

    - Increased safety, reliability and efficiency compared to conventional mechanical switches
    - Expendable wired switch options can be integrated into industry hardware
    - Plug-n-Play Cartridge technology utilized in Hunting’s modular Perforating Systems,
      release tool, setting tools and top fire systems.
    - Addressable technology delivers real time shot verification and skip over capabilities

    - Low power communication protocol allows 100+ guns per run
    - ControlFire Shooting Power Supply (SPS) eliminates the need for additional surface panel
    - VeriFire Switch Tester provides safe interrogation of armed gun at surface while the SPS
      panel provides switch check anytime downhole.
    - New ControlFire ReconTM product offerings feature detonator and
      power charge detection
    - API RP 67 Group II compliant options available: safe from radio frequency, stray voltage,
      and electrostatic discharge at the well site

     

    ControlFire On-The-Fly Software

    - Updated command sequences to optimize communication performance
    - Automatically starts next switch check and arming sequence after firing
    - On-The-Fly Rapid Arm bypasses shot validation (available upon request)
    - 20% faster between firing than older software versions
    - Reduces five mouse clicks to two
    - More intuitive troubleshooting guide windows
    - Automatically configures between switch versions
    - Optimized for use with Hunting Release Tools and PowerSet® power charges

     

    ControlFire Recon Switch

    - Additional transistor on detonator firing circuit to eliminate possibility
      of single point failure
    - Ability to detect an open circuit to detonator and igniter
    - Detonator/Igniter presence can be confirmed with the VeriFire on surface and downhole
       via ControlFire software.
    - Measures top of tool voltage (+/-10%) to aid in troubleshooting
    - Faster communication to handle shooting “On-The-Fly”

     

    ControlFire Recon Cartridge

    - Compliant with API RP 67 Group 2 Detonator
    - Convenient package contains Recon Switch, detonator, and pressure bulkhead
    - Eliminates wiring during gun assembly and arming at well site
    - Integrated electrical shunt on switch’s detonator circuit for added protection
    - Ability to measure detonator resistance (+/- 5) ohm with VeriFire® at surface or via
      ControlFire Software downhole
    - More robust firing circuit with redundant voltage blocking
    - Ideal for use in combination with Hunting’s addressable power charge – PowerSet Recon
