TorcPuncher
Non explosive mechanical perforating
Configured together with the TorcDesperado Linear Actuator and the Electric Manipulation Tool (EMT) the TorcPuncher is used to mechanically punch multiple holes in a tubular. The knifes on the TorcPuncher are axially acitvated by the EMT and TorcDesperado and travels relatively to a cone in order to push the knives through the tubular by taking the steel to tensile. As a result of this operation the knifes continue to deform the newly created holes which also provides a controllable standoff between the tubing string and the annular host casting. After the holes have been made and expanded to the desired diameter the tool is retracted and reposisioned for another expansion.

Tubing is taken to tensile by forcing the knives through.
Real time verification of tubing punch is provided at surface.
