Chem Shot™ Wireline Pump Down

Optimized Pump-Down Performance Through Automated Chemical Injection

Chem Shot™ Wireline Pump Down is Stryker Drilling’s solution for improving efficiency, reducing pressures, and accelerating stage times during plug-and-perf completions. By integrating automated chemical injection into the pump-down process, operators gain better control over friction, drag, and overall wireline performance in extended reach wells.

Faster Pump Down, Lower Pressures, Reduced Non-Productive Time

Wireline pump down is a critical step in plug-and-perf completions, where perforating guns and bridge plugs are conveyed to depth using pumped fluid. In extended laterals, elevated friction and wireline drag can slow deployment and retrieval, increasing stage times and non-productive time (NPT).

Chem Shot™ addresses these challenges by delivering precision-controlled chemical injection during the pump-down process, improving fluid performance and enabling more efficient wireline operations. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Chem Shot™ Wireline Pump Down includes the following capabilities:


  • Automated chemical injection during wireline pump-down operations
  • Friction reducer (FR) injection to reduce drag and treating pressures
  • Pipe-on-pipe (PoP) lubricant for smoother and faster wireline retrieval
  • Pre-conditioning of the wellbore ahead of frac stages
  • Real-time control and monitoring of chemical injection rates
  • Consistent, repeatable chemical delivery across all stages
  • Improved wireline pump-down speeds in extended lateral wells
  • Reduced treating pressures during both pump-down and frac operations
  • Faster, more reliable gun deployment and retrieval
  • Reduction in stage-to-stage transition time
  • Lower overall non-productive time (NPT)

Improving Efficiency Across the Entire Plug-and-Perf Cycle

Integrating automated chemical injection into wireline pump-down operations improves performance across the entire completion process. By reducing friction during pump down and enabling smoother retrieval after perforation, Chem Shot™ helps operators complete stages faster and more consistently.

Field results have shown increased pump-down speeds, lower treating pressures, and more reliable wireline performance—leading to shorter stage times and measurable reductions in non-productive time. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
