ID PUNCH Mechanical Puncher

Non-explosive mechanical puncher for creating oriented holes in tubing and casing, with single- or multiple-punch configurations.

The ID PUNCH creates holes in tubing and casing mechanically, providing an alternative where explosives are difficult to obtain or bring into the country. It supports oriented punching and can create one or multiple holes per run, depending on the configuration and tubular specifications.

The tool is deployed with an ID-SET Setting Tool. Activation can be programmed before deployment in memory mode or controlled from surface using eSlickline or conventional e-line. After penetration, the punch pistons retract so the tool can be retrieved.
