head system is used.
Features and Benefits
The APF-C system
• Can be used with nonfull-opening test
tools and partially filled tubing strings
• Can be used for drillstem testing or
shoot-and-pull for gravel packs
• Can be used wherever a pressure-
actuated tool is desirable
• Is ideal for deviated wells
• Provides a two firing head system on top
of the guns
• Can be run with a mechanical or pres-
sure-actuated firing head as a secondary
firing mechanism
• Enhances safety because the annulus-
operated portion is pressure-balanced
before the packer is set and the tester
valve is opened
