Blast Joint/Frac Protector

Blast Joint-Frac Protector
Product description

Protectors are designed to protect all control lines and cables along the full length of the production string, reducing the risk of damage to cables, control lines, or flatpacks. PDT’s Protector portfolio includes clamping and cable protection solutions to protect cables from lateral, axial, and rotational loading in downhole applications. In addition to our standard cross-coupling range, PDT designs application-specific solutions for demanding situations.

 

Application 

Blast Joint protectors provide a distinct magnetic signal to orient thru-tubing perforating guns away from the downhole cable. 

The blast joint protects the downhole cable or control lines during fracing and production operations.
