Safety and Environmental Precautions
Ensure all safety notices are read prior to starting any
assembly or testing.
General Warnings
• All connectors should be horizontal for assembly.
• If the connectors have been used previously, each connector must be pressure
tested.
• Ensure the rotary table is unlocked and free to rotate in case the backup releases.
If torque is transferred directly to the guns, they could be parted/cracked causing
a misfire.
• Gun assemblies should not be subjected to any excessive jarring while being
handled on the surface while being run in the wellbore. This is a safety
consideration, and excessive jarring can also cause misalignment of shaped
charges and stack-down of shaped charge holder tubes. The result could be
shaped charges shooting out of the scallop or a stop fire in the explosive train.
Notes, Cautions, and Warnings
All Notes, Cautions, and Warnings appearing in this document convey the
following:
Notes emphasize additional information that may be useful to the

reader.
Caution messages give directions that, if not observed, could

result in loss of data or in damage to equipment.

Introduction
This document guides the technician in assembling, testing, running, and maintaining the
Time Delay Firer (TDF) Assembly and the Extended Delay Assembly (EDA).The
purposes of this document are to uphold safety requirements, to establish a best-practice
procedure that may be consistently performed, and to achieve accurate and high-quality
results.
Use and Application
The Time Delay Firer (TDF) permits underbalance/overbalance perforating through the
use of a pressure-actuated firing head employing a time delay fuse. The use of the time
delay fuse allows for ample time (5 to 6 minutes) decreasing or increasing the tubing
pressure to achieve the desired underbalance/overbalance prior to gun detonation.
The TDF was developed in response to the need for a pressure-actuated firing head that
could permit underbalance perforating with absolute security. Its applications include the
following:
• Can be run on top and/or bottom of gun assemblies as primary or back-up firing
systems.
• Multiple guns (with independent TDF’s) can be run without gun spacers to reduce
costs.
• Can be run in heavy mud systems.
• Obtains maximum utilization of underbalance/overbalance pressure.
• Can be used with full or non-full bore tools.
• Independently perforate selected zones.
• Fire several guns independently during one trip.
• Extended Delay Assemblies are available if more time is needed between the
actuation of the TDF and the guns firing.
There is the possibility of pressure being trapped behind the shear
set in the TDF. This has the potential to become a very hazardous
situation. When the TDF is being disassembled the following
precautions must be taken to ensure safety.
1. Remove the TDF from all other tools.
2. Remove the two set screws from the bottom of the lower
plug. (This allows the pressure that might be trapped
between the shear set and bottom plug to bleed off)
3. Remove snap ring and continue to disassemble as

instructed.
If there is any indication that pressure may still be trapped in the

tool, for example the shear set is pushed against snap ring very
tightly place the tool in a secure area and contact your supervisor or
the Technology Department for further instruction.
There is the possibility of pressure being trapped in the air chamber

of the EDA. This has the potential to become a very hazardous
situation. When the EDA is being disassembled the following
precautions must be taken to ensure safety.
1. Remove the EDA from all other tools.
2. Remove the two set screws from the bottom of the lower
plug. (This allows the pressure that might be trapped in the
air chamber to bleed off).
3. Discard all parts except for the EDA housing.
If there is any indication that pressure may still be trapped in the

tool, for example the primer housing is very tight when removing,
place the tool in a secure area and contact your supervisor or the
Technology Department for further instruction.
Running the Time Delay Firer
Never substitute shear pins. Use only shear pins certified by

the Technology Department and designated for each tool.
If firing head is run on bottom you must not exceed 25% of

calculated actuating pressure until all guns are in the wellbore.
See Tech Bulletin at below link:
Guidelines for Running Pressure Actuated Firing Heads_Tech
Bulletin TCP-05-004.pdf
1. If a bottom-mounted firing head is run, it must not be installed until guns have
been lifted and are hanging in the elevators above rig floor. If a top-mounted
firing head is run, it must not be installed until guns have been lifted and are
hanging in the slips and or support plate.
A Dual PAI Crossover (PN 100005272, 100005278, or

100008012) with a 12.7 mm booster and Bi-Directional
booster must be used in conjunction with the TDF between
the TDF and the gun.
Secondary Explosive Subs must be run with delay fuses as
in the EDA and Time Delay Firing Heads. There are certain
other types of firing heads that require the use of the
Secondary Explosive Subs also. The use of the Secondary
Explosive Subs places a larger 12.7 mm booster directly
under the delay fuses or HTI. This enhances the reliability
of the explosive transfer to the gun.
2. If the firing head is run on the top gun, ensure that the tubing between the firing
head and BIT is filled with clean fluid.
3. If the firing head is run on the bottom gun, ensure that a ported sub and a bull
plug are attached.
4. The guns must be run in the well slowly to prevent a large pressure surge as the
tubing is lowered. Do not exceed a speed of 15 seconds per 30' of pipe. Discuss
this with the company man, the tool pusher, and the driller, prior to picking up the
guns.
5. If pressure testing the tubing internally, ensure that the casing valve is open. If
you are pressure testing against a plug set above the TDF, and there is no ported
D00107609 Revison X 10 of 88
sub below the plug, you will not know if you are pressuring up against the plug or
the TDF.
6. Before circulating the well for any reason, check all valves to ensure that they are
open. Pump very slowly until circulation is established. The pump pressure
should not normally exceed 400 psi.
7. When pumping down logging tools, do not exceed 400 psi.
8. Before starting in the hole with the guns, verify with the company man the weight
of fluid in the well.
9. Discuss with the company man, rig personnel, and other service company
representatives, any procedures that will be performed on the well that will affect
the hydrostatic pressure prior to firing the guns.
Be aware of what is going on at all times.
10. Visually monitor any procedures that affect the hydrostatic. Circulating,
pressuring up to function other downhole tools, etc.
11. Know your safety margins and stay within them.

Guidelines for Running a Bottom-Mounted Pressure Actuated
Firing Head
The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure the safety of

personnel and equipment when running a bottom-mounted
pressure actuated firing head. The guidelines will replace or
supersede any existing guidelines.
Bottom-Mounted Pressure Actuated Firing Head Guidelines

1. Definitions
A. Minimum downhole calculated actuating pressure – as
calculated on pinning calculation sheet.
B. Maximum exposure pressure – the hydrostatic that will be seen
by the firing head when the top most gun is being made up.
2. If B exceeds 25% of the value of A, the firing head cannot be run, unless a
written variance has been obtained from the TCP Department.
3. If B is less than 25% of the value of A, the firing head can be run, but it
must be pressure tested to 2,500 psi or twice the value of B, whichever is
greater.
D00107609 Revison X 12 of 88
Operating the Time Delay Firer
1. Know what your minimum and maximum actuating pressures are.
2. Actuating pressure is normally a combination of tubing hydrostatic and applied
pressure.
• Example:
Tool pinned to actuate at 5,000 psi
Less hydrostatic pressure of 2,700 psi
Applied Pressure would need to be 2,300 psi.
The pressure limits of the tubing and pumping equipment must

be considered before running a pressure actuated firing head.
3. The actuating pressure is normally set between 2,000 and 3,000 psi above the
hydrostatic pressure.
4. When the decision to fire the guns has been made, the tubing pressure is increased
slowly to the predetermined maximum actuating pressure. The maximum pressure
should be held for 60 seconds and then bled off to achieve the proper
underbalance.
The shot detector should be hooked up before applying any pressure, and monitored until
firing has been confirmed

1. Clean and visually inspect all parts for defects, such as rust, burrs, and damaged
threads or seal surfaces.
2. Assemble all parts, without O-rings, to ensure fit and function, then disassemble
The 2 ½” TDF assembly will be shipped with one #127 Buna C-

67 O-ring installed on the piston and retainer set. The two #127
Viton O-rings and backup rings will be installed when the tool is
being pinned for a specific job.
3. Lubricate with DC-4 Compound and install two O-rings #127 (Item 12*) and backups
(Item 20*) on the piston retainer (Item 1*). Install the backup rings on the opposite
side of where the pressure enters. In this case, the side closest to the shear pin holes.
The * denotes a part that is a component of the 2 ½” TDF Parts

List. (100156260) Reference the 2 ½” TDF Parts List Assembly
Drawing for description of item numbers.
4. Install the percussion primer into the recess in the bottom of the piston retainer.
The primer is installed with the welded side facing the bottom of
the recess in the retainer. Color the welded side with a red
marker. This will give a visual indication that the primer is
properly installed when the piston retainer assembly is removed
to change the number of shear pins.
5. Install the brass shock absorber (Item 3*) on top of the primer inside the retainer. The
shock absorber is installed with the small hole facing the primer. Install the two cap
screws (Item 8*), through the bottom of the retainer, into the brass shock absorber
and tighten. Set the retainer aside.
D00107609 Revison X 24 of 88
6. Place a small amount of RTV #3145 on the threads of the firing pin (Item 5*) and
screw it into the bottom of the firing piston and tighten.
The firing pin and piston must be cleaned with degreaser to allow
the RTV to cure properly. Do not substitute any other silicone
sealant for the RTV #3145 compound without first checking with
Technology. The RTV #3145 has been tested and proved to be
compatible with the explosives; other silicone sealant compound
may not be compatible and could cause a misfire.
7. Lubricate with DC-4 and install two #118 O-rings (Item 11*) and backups (Item 19*)
on the firing piston. Install the backups on the opposite side of where the pressure
enters. In this case, the side closest to the shear pin holes.
8. Carefully slide the firing piston into the piston retainer and align the shear pin holes.
The use of a press or vise to maintain a controlled pressure as the piston is pressed
into the retainer is recommended.
DO NOT HAMMER the piston into the retainer. Doing so

could result in damage to or detonation of the primer.
This could result in a serious injury.
The piston and retainer are match drilled and the arrows on
the piston and retainer must be aligned to maintain proper
engagement of shear pins.
9. If the TDF will be for stock, install 30 shear pins (Item 14*). If the TDF is for a
specific job, install the proper number of shear pins according to the TDF Shear
Pinning Procedure (Appendix A). When the number of shear pins is less than the
maximum the piston will hold, the number of shear pins per row and the spacing of
the shear pins in each row are critical.
10. Screw the TDF assembly tool (P/N 100014397) into the piston retainer assembly
(Item 1*). Slide the piston retainer assembly into the housing (Item 2*) from the
1.900" EU 10rd pin end until it sets firmly against the bottom of its bore in the
housing. Use the snap ring tool to install the retention ring (Item 13*) inside the
housing against the top of the piston retainer assembly.
11. Lubricate with DC-4 and install the O-ring #129 (Item 10*) on the OD of the lower
plug (Item 4*). No backup ring is required.
12. Place a small amount of RTV #3145 on the threads of the delay element (Item 2) and
screw into the lower plug. Hand-tighten only.
D00107609 Revison X 25 of 88
Do not install the delay element and lower plug assembly into
housing until after the pressure test.
The lower plug must be cleaned with a degreaser to allow the

RTV to cure properly. Do not substitute any other silicone sealant
compound for RTV #3145. Do not use a wrench or pliers to
tighten as this may damage the delay element.
13. Make up a test plug on the 1.90 EU 10rd pin end of the housing.
14. Fill with water and pressure to 2,500 psi or 1/2 the shear value of the shear pins,
whichever is less. Hold for 10 minutes.
Ensure that personnel are not standing in front of the box

end of the TDF during the pressure test operation.
15. If no leaks are indicated, bleed the pressure off and remove the test plug. If there is a
leak, disassemble, inspect, redress the tool, and repeat pressure test.
16. Slide the delay element assembly into the housing (Item 2*) from the box end until it
seats firmly against the internal shoulder.
Use a tandem or bull plug to fully seat the delay element

assembly into the housing. Lubricate the bottom of the tandem or
bull plug with DC-4 so that it will swivel against the O-ring on the
lower plug.
17. Seal the holes in the bottom of the lower plug (Item 4*) with two Teflon-wrapped set
screws (Item 9*).
18. Install the shipping plug (Item 6* P/N 102092845) in the box end to retain the delay
element assembly before shipping to location. If the TDF is for stock, install a 1.900
EU 10rd thread protector on the pin end to protect the firing piston assembly.
D00107609 Revison X 26 of 88
Guidelines for running the TDF:
• When the TDF is run on top of the guns, a Balanced Isolation Tool is run on top of
the TDF. Pack the area on top of the piston with grease and run the Balanced
Isolation Tool as normal. Be certain the fluid used to fill the tubing between the firing
head and the Balanced Isolation Tool is clean.
• When the TDF is run on the bottom of the guns, fill the 10rd pin end with grease and
make-up a vented plug (P/N 100005232) on the 1.900 EU 10rd pin of the TDF. The
vented plug is ported to allow pressure to reach the firing piston and is closed on the
end to prevent any objects from contacting the firing piston.
• If the vented plug is not available, use a 2 ½” perforated nipple, with the proper
couplings, crossovers, and bull plugs. Make sure to fill area on top of firing piston
with grease before installing.
Re-pinning the 2 ½” TDF

1. Determine the number of shear pins needed by following the attached 2 ½” TDF
repining procedure (Appendix A).
2. Remove one screw (Item 9*) in the lower plug (Item 4*). Set aside.
3. Using snap ring pliers, remove the retention ring (Item 13*) on top of the piston
retainer assembly (Item 1*).
4. Using the 2 ½” TDF assembly tool (P/N 100014397), remove the piston and piston
retainer assembly (Item 1*).
Ensure that the snap ring groove is free of any foreign material
prior to reinstalling the piston and piston retainer assembly.
5. Remove the shear pins (Item 14*), leaving the number of shear pins needed for the
actuating pressure. Follow the guide in the shear pinning procedures (Appendix A)
for proper spacing of the shear pins left in the piston and piston retainer.
6. Replace the #127 O-rings (Item 12*) and backup rings (Item 20*) on the piston
retainer with the extra set provided in the assembly. Lubricate the O-rings and shear
pins with DC-4 compound, and install into the TDF housing (Item 2*).
If using Aflas O-rings, always use backup rings. The Extreme

Environment Kit (P/N 100005240) is optional for the 2 ½” TDF.
Standard O-rings can be ordered separately for standard
temperature and pressure applications.
D00107609 Revison X 27 of 88
7. Install the retention ring (Item 13*) on top of the piston and piston retainer (Item 1*).
Remove the delay element and lower plug assembly before

pressure testing.
8. Refer to Steps 13 to 18 assembly and test procedures for the 2 ½” Time Delay Firer.
9. Reinstall the Teflon-wrapped set screw (Item 9*) in the lower plug (Item 4*).
10. Refer to Step 19 of the assembly procedure.
11. Install the proper protectors.
Maintaining the 2 1/2 TDF Assembly
1. Disassemble the TDF.
There is the possibility of pressure being trapped behind the shear set in the TDF.
This has the potential to become a very hazardous situation.
When the TDF is being disassembled the following precautions must be taken to
ensure safety.
2. Remove the two set screws from the bottom of the lower plug. (This allows
the pressure that might be trapped between the shear set and bottom plug to
bleed off).
3. Remove snap ring and continue to disassemble as instructed.
If there is any indication that pressure may still be trapped in the tool, for example
the shear set is pushed against snap ring very tightly place the tool in a secure area
and contact your supervisor or the Technology Department for further instruction.
2. Discard all parts except for the shear set and housing.
3. Clean and inspect re-usable items for damage or wear.
4. Reassemble using normal assembly and pressure test procedures, Section Assembling
and Testing the 2 ½” TDF.

Assembling and Testing the 3 3/8” TDF
Refer to the 3 3/8” TDF (P/N 100005230) while performing the

steps of this procedure.
1. Clean and visually inspect all parts for defects, such as rust, burrs, and damaged
threads or seal surfaces.
2. Assemble all parts, without O-rings, to ensure fit and function, then disassemble.
The 3 3/8” TDF assembly will be shipped with one #227 Buna
C-67 O-ring installed on the piston and retainer set. The two
#227 Viton O-rings and backup rings will be installed when the
tool is being pinned for a specific job.
3. Lubricate with DC-4 Compound and install two O-rings #227 (Item 8*) and
back -ups (Item 20*) on the piston retainer (Item 1*).
The * denotes part of the 3 3/8” TDF Parts List (P/N 100156260).
Reference the 3 3/8” TDF Parts List Assembly Components List
for a description of item numbers.
4. Install the percussion primer into the recess in the bottom of the piston retainer.
The primer is installed with the welded side facing the bottom of
the recess in the retainer. Color the welded side with a red
marker. This will give a visual indication that the primer is
properly installed when the piston retainer assembly is removed
to change the number of shear pins.
5. Install the brass shock absorber (Item 5*) on top of the primer inside the retainer.
The shock absorber is installed with the small hole facing the primer. Install the
two cap screws (Item 12*), through the bottom of the retainer, into the brass
shock absorber and tighten. Set the retainer aside.
6. Place a small amount of RTV #3145 on the threads of the firing pin (Item 4*) and
screw it into the bottom of the firing piston and tighten.
The firing pin and piston must be cleaned with degreaser to allow
the RTV to cure properly. Do not substitute any other silicone
sealant for the RTV #3145 compound without first checking with
Technology. The RTV #3145 has been tested and proved to be
compatible with the explosives; other silicone sealant compound
may not be compatible and could cause a misfire.
7. Lubricate with DC-4 and install two #118 O-rings (Item 9*) on the firing piston.
8. Carefully slide the firing piston into the piston retainer and align the shear pin
holes. The use of a press or vise to maintain a controlled pressure as the piston is
pressed into the retainer is recommended.
DO NOT HAMMER the piston into the retainer. Doing so

could result in damage to or detonation of the primer. This
could result in a serious injury.
The piston and retainer are match drilled and the arrows on the
piston and retainer must be aligned to maintain proper
engagement of shear pins.
9. If the TDF will be for stock, install 32 shear pins.

10. If the TDF is for a specific job, install the proper number of shear pins according
to the TDF Shear Pinning Procedure (Appendix A). When the number of shear
pins is less than the maximum the piston will hold, the number of shear pins per
row and the spacing of the shear pins in each row are critical.
11. Screw the TDF assembly tool (P/N 1000157293) into the piston retainer assembly
(Item 1*). Slide the piston retainer assembly into the housing (Item 2*) from the 2
7/8 EU 8 rd pin-end until it sets firmly against the bottom of its bore in the
housing. Use the snap ring tool (P/N 10163453) to install the snap ring inside the
housing against the top of the piston retainer assembly.
12. Lubricate with DC-4 and install the O-ring #229 (Item 10*) on the OD of the
lower plug (Item 3*).
13. Place a small amount of RTV #3145 on the grooves on the bottom of the lower
plug in two or three places. Carefully install the O-ring #329 (Item 11*) into the
groove, seating it firmly in the RTV and groove.
Do not install the delay element and lower plug assembly into
housing until after the pressure test.
The lower plug must be cleaned with a degreaser to allow the
RTV to cure properly. Do not substitute any other silicone sealant
compound for RTV #3145. Do not use a wrench or pliers to
tighten as this may damage the delay element.
14. Place a liberal amount of RTV #3145 on the threads of the delay element (Item 1
or 1a) and screw into the lower plug (Item 3*). Hand-tighten only.
15. Make up a test plug on the 2 7/8 EU 8rd pin end of the housing (Item 2*).
16. Fill with water and pressure to 2,500 psi or 1/2 the shear value of the shear pins,
whichever is less. Hold for 10 minutes.
Ensure that personnel are not standing in front of the box

end of the TDF during the pressure test operation.
17. If no leaks are indicated, bleed the pressure off and remove the test plug. If there
is a leak, disassemble, inspect redress the tool and repeat pressure test.
18. Slide the delay element assembly into the housing from the box end until it seats
firmly against the internal shoulder.
Use a tandem or bull plug to fully seat the delay element

assembly into the housing. Lubricate the bottom of the tandem or
bull plug with DC-4 so that it will swivel against the O-ring on the
lower plug.
19. Seal the holes in the bottom of the lower plug with two Teflon-wrapped set
screws (Item 13*).
20. Install a gun bull plug in the box end to retain the delay element assembly. Install
a 2 7/8 EU 8rd Shipping Cap (P/N 101207848) on the pin end to protect the firing
piston assembly.
Guidelines for Running TDF:
a. When the TDF is run on top of the guns, a Balanced Isolation Tool is run
on top of the TDF. Pack the area on top of the piston with grease and run
the Balanced Isolation Tool as normal. Be certain the fluid used to fill the
tubing between the firing head and the Balanced Isolation Tool is clean.
b. When the TDF is run on the bottom of the guns, fill the 8rd pin end with
grease and make-up a vented plug (P/N 100005217) on the 2 7/8 EU 8rd
pin of the TDF. The vented plug is ported to allow pressure to reach the
firing piston and is closed on the end to prevent any objects from
contacting the firing piston.
c. If the vented plug is not available, use a 2 3/8 or 2 7/8 fill disc using the
proper couplings, crossovers, and bull plug. Make sure to fill area on top
of firing piston with grease before installing.
The TDF is now ready for transportation to location.

Calculation Sheet and Shear Pinning Procedures for TDF
Step 1: Well Information Required:
A. Well Temperature (BHT) in Deg. F: ___________
This must be accurate. A 20 degree error can change the shear pin rating by 1%.
B. True Vertical Depth at Plug Back:_____________
True Vertical Depth at Perforations: ___________
C. Type of fluid and weight in casing: ____________ type ______________weight.
Type of fluid and weight in tubing after displacement: ______type _______weight
D. Maximum surface pressure allowed by customer to actuate the TDF. This is not
necessarily the PSI rating of the tree. Consider all surface and downhole
equipment. ___________ psi
E. Other pressure operated tools and the maximum pressure required to operate.
Tools:____________________________________________
Maximum psi (before firing)__________________________________
F. Pressure tests (tubing, casing, packer, etc.) Test psi: ______________
G. Pressure required to break circulation. Heavy muds may require a higher pressure.
___________psi
Step 2:
A. Calculate the hydrostatic in the casing before displacement, +/- .2 PPG. Casing
hydrostatic: ___________psi
B. Calculate the hydrostatic in the tubing after displacement (if applicable). Tubing
hydrostatic: ___________psi
Step 3:
Calculate the highest pressure anticipated on the well before attempting to actuate
the TDF. This pressure is obtained by adding the highest pressure from Step 2A to
any applied pressure that will be required on the job.
Highest anticipated psi ___________. Check all tools for pressure ratings, (this
includes collapse pressure of guns, etc.).
Step 4:
Refer to graph to determine the percentage reduction in the shear pin rating due to
temperature. To use the chart, find the temperature at the bottom of the graph. Draw
a line straight up until it intersects the curve. Then draw a line straight across to the
left side of the graph to read the percentage reduction. Multiply the pin value by the
percentage reduction to determine the psi/pin reduction. Subtract the psi/pin
reduction from the pin value to determine the temperature compensated pin value
_______ psi/pin. Check O-ring temperature on graph to see if there is an O-ring
change. Now calculate the +/- 5% value for the shear pin at a given temperature.
Write the values down.
• Nominal Actuation Pressure: __________ psi

• Minimum Actuation Pressure (-5%): __________ psi
• Maximum Actuation Pressure (+5%): _________ psi
Eight pins is the minimum number of pins that the 2 ½” or 3 3/8”

TDF should be dressed with. Contact the PSL or Technology
before running with fewer than eight pins.
Step 5: Safety Factor
The recommended minimum safety factor is provided as a guide only. This value
compares the lowest actuating pressure to the highest pressure anticipated before
firing. You may increase the safety factor if well conditions permit. DO NOT
LOWER THE SAFETY FACTOR without contacting operations.
Select the safety factor that applies to your well.
The following are based on the minimum calculated actuating pressures:
0 – 10,000 psi Minimum Safety Factor is 1,000 psi.
10,000 – 15,000 psi Minimum Safety Factor is 1,500 psi.
Over 15,000 psi Minimum Safety Factor is 2,000 psi.
Step 6:
Add the safety factor to the maximum anticipated pressure from Step 2A or Step 3,
whichever is greater. Divide this total by the minimum psi/pin from Step 4. This
gives the minimum number of pins required. Always round the number of pins
upward to maintain the safety factor. Number of pins ______.
Step 7:
Multiply the number of pins from Step 6 by the nominal psi/pin from Step 4 to
acquire the nominal actuating pressure and calculate the +/- 5% actuating pressures.
Normal __________ psi

Maximum __________ psi
Minimum __________ psi
If the nominal actuating pressure is above 16,000 psi, the

maximum actuating pressure should be calculated by
adding 10% to the nominal, rather than 5%. (21/2 TDF)
Step 8: Check the Safety Factor

Subtract the pressure from Step 2A or Step 3, whichever is greater, from the
Minimum actuating pressure. This should be equal to or greater than the safety
factor for your well conditions. If the safety factor is less, go back to Step 7, add 1
pin and recalculate Step 7 and 8.
Step 9:
To determine the surface pressure required to actuate the TDF, subtract the tubing
hydrostatic from the maximum actuating pressure. Add 500 psi to this value to
obtain the surface pressure required. The 500 psi allows for inaccuracies in gauges,
fluid weights, and other variables beyond our control. Double check to be certain
this surface pressure is acceptable and does not exceed any pressure limitations.
Step 10: Pinning the TDF
Rule 1: Use the least number of rows possible.
Rule 2: No fewer than two (2) pins in any row.
Rule 3: If a row contains fewer than ten pins, distribute the pins as evenly as
possible in the row. (2 ½” TDF)
If a row contains fewer than sixteen pins, distribute the pins as evenly as possible in
the row. (3 3/8” TDF)
Set screws have been placed in the lower plug of the TDF
assembly. Removing one (1) set screw will allow easier
removal of the piston/piston retainer for pinning. After
pinning and reassembling the piston/piston retainer, the set
screw must be replaced using Teflon tape to seal the vent
holes in the lower plug.
Step 11:
Check the number of pins in the tool. Have someone else verify the number of pins.
Refer to the Delay Time vs. Temperature chart for the TDF to determine the burn
time of the fuse. This is the amount of time you have to achieve the well head
pressure desired when the guns fire.
Step 12:
A. Number of pins ______ nominal shear value per pin ______.
B. Actuating Pressure:
Nominal ________ psi
Maximum ________ psi
Minimum ________ psi
C. Minimum surface pressure required _________ psi
D. Maximum surface pressure required _________ psi
E. Safety Factor _____________psi
Step 13:
A. ____________= Minimum downhole actuating pressure (from Step 12B)
B. ____________= Maximum pressure (hydrostatic) that the bottom-mounted TDF will
be exposed to as the top gun is being made-up
C. If the value of Step 13B exceeds 25% of the value of Step 13A, the firing head cannot
be run, unless a written variance has be obtained from the TCP Technology
department.
D. If the value of Step 13B is less than 25% of the value of Step 13A, the firing head can
be run, but it must be pressure tested to 2,500 psi or twice the value of Step 13B,
whichever is greater.

Extended Delay Assembly
The Extended Delay Assembly (EDA) is an auxiliary firing device which provides an
increased and variable delay interval to the existing TDF (and various other firing
systems). One or more EDA’s may be made up in a series between the gun and TDF.
Each EDA adds 5-6 minutes (depending on the BHT of the well) of delay time to the
initial firing system.
The EDA was developed primarily to complement the TDF in wells that require
considerably more delay time than that allowed by a single TDF. Typically, this would be
a well requiring partially void tubing in order to achieve the required underbalance to the
wellbore. In this application, the tubing would first be displaced with Nitrogen to the
required level. Next, the tubing would be pressurized to the predetermined value required
to actuate the TDF. The nitrogen pressure would then be bled back down to the value
necessary to provide the required differential to the wellbore.
By properly selecting the delay time (number of EDAs) for a specific nitrogen volume,
the EDA can supply ample time to bleed down a large volume of nitrogen before the
delay time elapses and the guns are detonated (See Delay Interval - Selection Guide).
When running an EDA section below a firing head that does not
maintain a seal after it is actuated, the EDA directly below the
firing head must be modified to be a Sealing EDA. Contact the
TCP Technology Department to determine which firing heads
maintain a seal and which do not.
If the EDA is run below something other than a delay fuse, the
explosive input configuration to the EDA should be a bi-
directional booster contained in a steel alignment insert.
Steel alignment insert 100155994 and # 021 O-Ring 100012939.
There is the possibility of pressure being trapped in the air chamber of the EDA.
When the EDA is being disassembled the following precautions must be taken to
ensure safety.
the pressure that might be trapped in the air chamber to bleed off).
the primer housing is very tight when removing, place the tool in a secure area and
contact your supervisor or the Technology Department for further instruction.
Operating the EDA
In general, the operating and running procedures for the EDA

will be dictated by the running and operating procedures of
the initial firing system with which the EDA is run.
1. Hook-up shot detection to record detonation of guns.

2. When ready to fire; pressure up with nitrogen (in usual manner) to fire the TDF.
Timing should begin at the point when the BHP reaches the minimum pin value
of the main firing system.
3. Bleed down the N2 pressure to predetermined value.
Precautions and Special Considerations – EDA
1. The EDA is compatible with the TDF assembly. The device may be run with
other firing systems but special consideration and/or testing may be in order. Do
not run with any other system (except TDF) without first contacting the PSL
and/or Technology.
A Dual PAI Crossover (P/N 100005272, 100005278, or

100008012) with a Det. Cord Initiator and Bi-Directional
Booster must be used in conjunction with the EDA’s between
the EDA and the gun.
2. Before starting out of the hole the following points should be observed:
• The total delay time plus 50% should be observed before starting out
of the hole. This time should be accounted for by a stop watch and
recorded. DO NOT GUESS.
• Know what is going on. For example, if the operator pumps-in to
verify that the perforations are open, you should insist that the delay
time be observed before starting out of the hole. This recommendation
would be especially applicable if there was any doubt as to whether or
not the guns had fired.
Assembling and Testing the 2 ½” EDA 100005229 and 3 3/8” EDA 100009426

Field Procedure
1. Remove the end cap and bull plug. Make-up the required number of delay
assemblies.
To determine the proper number of Extended Delay Assemblies

required for a specific N2 volume, refer to Delay Interval
Selection Guide.
2. Make-up delay assemblies onto primary/main firing head.

3. Run guns into the wellbore and set the top gun on gun support plate.
When assembled onto gun, the box end should be pointing

towards the gun and the pin end should be pointing towards the
firing head.
4. Make-up entire firing system onto guns.
Delay Interval – Selection Guide
This section provides a guide to selecting the required number of Extended Delay
Assemblies for a given N2 volume. This guide is based on calculated bleed-down
times for a known volume of N2 through a known choke size.
The final determination regarding the bleed-down rate should

remain the operator’s/customer’s decision and responsibility.
When selecting the number of EDAs, the following procedures are recommended:
1. Calculate the minimum and maximum actuating pressure for the TDF following
normal procedures. It is recommended that the maximum calculated actuation
pressure be exceeded by 500 psi.
2. *A)Determine or obtain the required N2 surface pressure (and BHP of N2
column) in order to actuate the TDF.*
*B)determine final N2 surface pressure required for proper differential pressure
to wellbore (underbalance).*
*C)Obtain the anticipated N2 volume (SCF) required to actuate the TDF and
final N2 volume (in SCF) which will be required for proper differential to the
wellbore.*
*D)Subtract volume (final) from N2 volume (initial) to obtain volume in SCF
which is actually bled off.
*This information can be obtained from the nitrogen company or by ordering
Halliburton Services Nitrogen Data Manual (P/N 252.11115). This manual provides
a step-by-step guide.
3. Determine approximate delay time per each assembly based on BHT of well (See
Delay Time Versus BHT Chart).
Determine approximate bleed-down time per following formula:
(0.1368 x V )
Time in Minutes =
(PH + PL) x d2
Where:
V = Volume of N2 actually bled off (in SCF)
PH is initial N2 surface pressure (actuation pressure)
PL is final N2 surface pressure (underbalance pressure)
d = Choke Size in inches
.1368 = Constant
EXAMPLE:
0.1368 x 100,000 SCF of N2)

A. Time =
[(10,000 + 5,000 psi) x 0. 375 2]
13680
B. Time =
[(15,000) x .1406]
3680
C. Time = = 6.5 minutes
2109
5. Select number of fuses to cover the bleed-down time from Step 4. In most
applications one additional delay assembly should be sufficient to cover the time
required to pump up from minimum to maximum actuation pressure when using
nitrogen.
The 0.375" choke used in the bleed-down time calculation is

used only as an example. Depending on well site conditions you
may have to factor in a smaller or larger choke size. An
adjustable choke (if available) will enable the operator to bleed
down at a relatively constant rate (volume) as the pressure
decreases. This formula provides an approximation only. To
more accurately determine the bleed-down time, it is necessary
to break the calculation into smaller increments.
