15000 PSI GAS GUN (1000 ATM)
The
High Pressure Gas Gun will operate up to 15,000 PSI, in implosion mode
only. The test pressure is 30,000 PSI. The gas gun is useful in
determining liquid levels, bottomhole pressures, locating the liquid
level of corrosion inhibitors, and locating other anomalies.
In implosion mode, the volume chamber in the gas gun is
bled to a pressure less than the pressure existing on the well. Then a
poppet valve is rapidly opened to release gas from the well into the gas
gun volume chamber to generate the pressure pulse.
The microphone is not noise-canceling or as
sensitive as the microphones on the Compact
Gas Gun, Remote Fire Gas Gun or the 5000
PSI Gas Gun.
Best performance will be obtained when the 15,000 PSI
Gas Gun is used at pressures exceeding 1500 PSI but less than 15,000
PSI.
Good results have been obtained at pressures above
1500 PSI (100 ATM) through 1/8" orifice needle valves which are
standard on most high pressure wells. Minimum expense and trouble are
involved in the use of this High Pressure Gas Gun.
