RELIABILITY & EFFICIENCY IN HORIZONTAL COMPLETIONS

Yellow Jacket’s Advanced Communications Protocol Allows For Communication Speeds Up To Three Times Faster Than Standard Switches.

Learn more about our Digital Switch System™ and learn just how it works.

FEATURES

• Enhanced Communication Speeds

DSS™ is faster when inventorying switches downhole & offers a speed advantage when programming & testing the gun string at surface

• Certified RF-Safe

Certified by industry-standard independent testing lab Franklin Applied Physics

Eliminates Potential For Duplicate Switch ID’s

DSS™ switches are manufactured without a unique identifier programmed into each switch; ID is programmed by the Test Box at surface

• Robust Switch Design

Tested to extreme temperatures & shock conditions to ensure durability

• Gun String Protection

Additional circuit protection built into each switch to prevent component failure in the event of an over- voltage on the wireline

BENEFITS

Powers Yellow Jacket’s Full Gun String

Qualified for every Yellow Jacket perf gun, power safe device (PSD) & PSFH cartridge

Compatible With All Industry Standard Detonators & Igniters

DSS™ Offers Software Flexibility

Yellow Jacket’s proprietary DSS™ software is intuitive, user-friendly & works like a smartphone app

DSS™ switches are fully compatible with Warrior’s UniFire™ software or can be run in conjunction with DataCan Linewise™

JOB SUMMARY

UNLOCK THE FULL POWER OF DSS™ SOFTWARE: EMBRACE THE SWITCH.

Smartphone-Inspired User Interface

User-friendly & intuitive software with a sleek smartphone app-like interface

DSS™ offers single screen functionality, instead of dividing focus between pop-up windows & the firing panel

• Custom Programming for Specific Switch Function

DSS™ has the ability to program each switch based on its intended function (Safety Sub, Release Tool, Perforating Gun, Plug Shoot Firing Head)

Customizable Shot Windows

User-programmable shot windows reduce the potential for shooting outside of the desired depth target

• Enhanced Shoot-On-The-Fly Capabilities

Animated, colored graphics assist the wireline engineer to effortlessly know when approaching the shot window

Ability to easily adjust shot depths on-the-fly in the event of a misfire, skipped gun, or missed shot window

• Robust Data Reporting Features

Scalable shot plots clearly identify the voltage & duration of firing events

• Printable shot sheets

• Comprehensive Troubleshooting Capabilities

As downhole conditions change, sophisticated in-job logic warns users about potential issues

Live diagnostic capability without having to exit the software

• Cutting-Edge Database Infrastructure

Database infrastructure ensures reliable storage & logging of all job data

Ability to open pre-programmed jobs from CSV files & open previous jobs for review of data from each stage

Compatibility Options

Compatible with both Warrior UniFire™ & DataCan Linewise™ for depth information

Ability to choose between Imperial & Metric units

• Seamless Recovery

In the event of a computer or software crash, can seamlessly resume an in-progress job from right where you left off

• Digital Power Supply

DSS™ software & shooting panel can automatically handle the power ramp-up, voltage/current limit, amplitude, duration, & shut down based on pre- programmed profiles for industry-standard detonators & igniters
