Background

In a recent Permian Basin operation, @Oilfield Service Professionals, in collaboration with @Lee Energy Systems, demonstrated the efficiency and reliability of next-generation well intervention tools. The objective was to execute precision perforations, isolate the interval, and squeeze a cement plug—all within a single daylight shift, an aggressive timeline that conventional methods would struggle to meet.

Engineering Execution & Performance

Faced with a last-minute service request, OSP mobilized equipment and personnel within 24 hours. Utilizing the NEXUS™ Tension Packer and Gator™ Perforating System, the operation proceeded as follows:

13:30 – Tools rigged up on location

Two precision cuts executed at 550’ and 370’

15:45 – Tools back on the rack, well prepped for cementing

The total perforation cycle time per interval was ~7.5 minutes, a significant reduction compared to traditional wireline guns or tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP).

Results & Operational Efficiency

Minimized Rig Time: Reduced non-productive time (NPT) with a streamlined, mechanical-based system.

Optimized Crew Utilization: Delivered high-precision results without requiring additional runs or intervention.

Enhanced Safety & Reliability: Eliminated risks associated with live explosives from TCP or wireline perforating.

By end of shift, the cement plug was in place—tasks that typically carry over into the next day were completed ahead of schedule.

Field Feedback & Technical Validation

The on-site company representative remarked: “I’d run that tool every time versus wireline guns or TCP.” The success of this operation led to the award of multiple wells for OSP, reinforcing the competitive advantage of its technology in fast-paced land operations.

Conclusion

This case study underscores the engineering efficiency and precision of OSP’s intervention technology. By leveraging innovative mechanical systems, we successfully optimized perforation and isolation operations, significantly reducing total well intervention time. This project sets a new standard for operational efficiency in U.S. land applications.
