TARGET Initiation System (TIS)

1. Tester

  • performs verification of the perforation assembly;
  • identification and control of target keys directly before running in hole.

2. Software of the Target Initiation System (TIS)

  • providing the interface between the Operator Console and the PC;
  • generating log files for operation monitoring;
  • facilitating manipulation with the Operator Console;
  • eliminating potential operator errors.

Target Key

  • targeted detonation of initiation devices upon receiving the command from the Operator Console;
  • determination of the status of the Initiation Device before and after initiation.

Operator Console

  • automatic setup and automatic creation of perforation and blasting assembly;
  • management of target keys;
  • generation of report files on the operation of the Target Initiation System (TIS) for subsequent reading and review by the operator;
  • monitoring the operation of the Target Initiation System (TIS) devices;
  • control of power supply to the initiation devices to ensure their guaranteed detonation via the target key.

Features and Advantages of the TARGET Initiation System (TIS)

Safety

The TIS ensures the safe execution of blasting and perforation operations (BPO) using the Plug&Perf technology, fully complying with the requirements of the API RP 67 standard:

  • during assembly and connection, the initiation devices remain in a short-circuited state;
  • the operability of the complete assembly is checked by a special tester — a device with a low power voltage level, making accidental initiation during preparatory work virtually impossible;
  • the software repeatedly requests confirmation of actions;
  • the initiation command is given using a two-hand operation, preventing accidental firing;
  • the hardware-software complex minimizes the likelihood of operator errors by automatically assigning unique addresses to the initiation keys.

Reliability

Engineered for high reliability:

  • the electrical circuit of the assembly completely excludes components with reduced reliability, such as movable electrical contacts;
  • target keys undergo multiple quality and operability checks during manufacturing (which is impossible for electromechanical keys);
  • redundancy capability — if one section fails, the subsequent backup section is initiated. There is no need to lift the assembly to the surface for inspection and troubleshooting;
  • it eliminates the impact of a short circuit in the fired section of the assembly on the equipment above.
