Advanced Horizontal TCP Perforating Applications

Our company was built on a foundation of traditional tubing-conveyed perforating. Our team brings extensive training and hands-on expertise with a wide range of bottom-hole assemblies, including packers, on-off tools, PXD tools, ported and debris subs, underbalanced subs, X/XN nipples, and both mechanical and auto-release systems. No matter the challenge, we work to ensure every job is completed quickly, accurately, and safely.

Innovation Behind
Every Project

TCP Specialists provides a broad range of tubing-conveyed perforating solutions and has experience across every segment of the industry. We frequently develop customized methods for applications that previously lacked a workable operational history.

  • Expertise in vertical permanent TCP setups

  • Extensive experience with horizontal TCP operations

  • Proficiency in perforating with propellant

  • Proprietary and patented BHA components that reduce third-party rental needs

  • A dual-purpose firing head capable of activating through direct pressure or drop ball

  • Near-perfect operational success rates and a reputation for getting it right the first time

Our in-house manufactured parts give us a competitive edge and allow us to deliver high-quality, cost-effective service to every client we support.

Projects That Redefine Performance

Firing systems play a critical role in successful horizontal TCP operations. We have deep experience with both ball-drop and direct-pressure firing heads, including several of our own designs. Our proprietary coil-tubing differential ball-drop sleeve integrates both methods into one system, allowing the operator to fire using pressure when possible—or by dropping a ball when pressure cannot be achieved.

Key Benefits

  • Reliable activation regardless of sleeve performance

  • Reduced uncertainty when pressure firing may not be guaranteed

  • Fewer additional runs required, saving significant operating time

  • A flexible system proven across a wide range of field conditions

This advanced firing solution has prevented delays and is one of the most effective systems currently in use.

Time-Delay System

Our time-delay firing system enables the reliable deployment of multiple guns for toe stages, recompletions, or screen out operations.

Capabilities include:

  • Running multiple guns simultaneously
  • Any spacing between gun assemblies
  • Proven reliability, including successful runs with up to 32 guns at once
