The Perforating Torch System (PTS) is recommended for tubing punch on slickline or e-line, and is deployed without the need for radio silence or explosives.

The PTS utilises a proprietary and patented fuel contained within the torch body. When activated the resultant molten plasma is ejected through the patented nozzle section and is directed to perforate the target tubing. The PTS utilises a proprietary mixture of powdered metals contained inside the torch body which burn at very high temperature on ignition by the gas generator. The resultant molten plasma is then ejected through the patented nozzle section and perforates the target tubing.

The PTS (SP) series does not use explosives or hazardous chemicals, the tool can be shipped almost anywhere in the world within 24 hours, saving significant time and associated costs, while remaining compliant with safety regulations. The tool is initiated with the RF-Safe Thermal Generator™; a fully qualified activator for use with the PTS to punch all types of steel.

The PTS produces a very clean slotted punched holes with no pipe swelling or debris left in the well. The tool can operate in fluid or gas environments at up to 25,000psi and up to 500°F (260°C). The tool is initiated with the RF Safe Thermal generator, a fully qualified igniter for use with the Radial Cutting Torch  (RCT) and CPT, to punch all types of steel.
