Split Shot ® Cutter

0.875 in. and 1.000 in.

Description:

Owen’s New Split Shot ® Cutter has been redesigned with the customer in mind and allows for easy electrical arming before loading the explosive segments. Split Shot ® Cutters are designed for use where traditional jet cutters were not effective or could not be used. The Split Shot ® Cutter’s linear configuration allows it to be positioned adjacent to the collar or connection and secured by inline magnets. After detonation, the collar or connection is split allowing the pipe to be freed for easy removal.

Benefits / Capabilities:

In addition to the benefits of its predecessor, the New Split Shot ® Cutter incorporates a number of improvements to enhance performance and improve operator safety.

• One-piece, precision cut, segment holder.

• Uses Owen’s DET-3050-009LS or 2-300750-1 Split Shot ® Detonator.

• Magnetic Top Sub is reusable with the available redress kit (sold separately).

• HMX Split Shot Cutters are available by special order. Parts should be ordered by replacing the 3 with a 4, ie. SSC-XXXX-4XX

• If shooting in a connection with a premium thread (i.e. VAM, Hydril, etc.), please contact your local Owen representative for recommendations.

Note: Owen Split Shot Cutters can be run with Owen’s

RF-Safe Green DET™ as a replacement to the

DET-3050-009LS

1.0 Pre-Assembly

Warning: Explosives are destructive by nature! Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the explosive in any manner! Do not crush, hammer, pinch, impact, pull wires or abuse any explosive!

Warning: Be sure to follow safe operating practices as found in

API RP-67 in accordance with governmental regulations, company policies and manufacturer’s recommendations!

1.1 Unpack the hardware and explosive Segment s (item B). The Se gments are lettered in alphabetical order for assembly.

1.2 Remove the Brass Shear Screw (item #4) securing the Housing (item #1 1) to the Bottom

Sub (item #10). Remove the Bottom Sub and Segment Holder (item #8) from the Housing.

1.3 Pull the Segment Holder and Bottom Sub apart.

Note: Make sure that the Spring (item #5) remains inside the

Segment Holder.

1.4 Remove the O-rings (items #3) from their package and visually inspect them for cuts or cracks.

Caution: The O-rings should never be rolled or twisted into their grooves, as “spiral failure” could occur, through no fault of the producer! Care must also be taken not to pinch or cut the O-ring during installation!

1.5 Install two O-rings onto the Bottom Sub and lubricate.

1.6 Insert the Bottom Sub into the Segment Holder and align the magnets with the piston alignment slot. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, bend over the two Segment Holder tabs into the slots in the Bottom Sub.

2.0 Loading Segments into the Holder

Note: Loading may require slightly spreading the sides of the Segment

Holder.

2.1 Both the 0.875 and 1.000 in. tools use three 6 in. long Segments. Insert Segment ’AB’ into the

Segment Holder and shoulder the end labeled ’A’ up against the Detonator Holder (item #7) and under it’s alignment pin. The Segment should seat firmly into the Segment Holder with its inner angle facing outward (refer to the graphic below).

2.2 Install Segment ’CD’, by shouldering the end labeled ’D’ up against the Piston (item #9) and under its alignment pin making sure its inner angle is also facing outward. Lastly, install

Segment ’BC’ while depressing the Piston to allow insertion between the previous two

Segments. All of the Segments should fit tightly in the Segment Holder without gaps.

2.3 Check alignment of Segments from one to another, making sure their profiles line up as closely as possible.

2.4 Slide the Segment Holder/Bottom Sub assembly into the Housing. Push the assembly into the Housing until the O-rings seat onto their lands and the Bottom Sub threaded hole aligns with the through hole in the Housing.

2.5 Install the Brass Shear Screw (item #4) in to the Bottom Sub so that the Segment Holder/

Bottom Sub assembly is secured to the Housing.

2.6 Now set the Housing aside while the detonator is armed electrically.

3.0 Arming, Electrically

3.1 Install the two remaining O-rings (item #3) onto the Magnetic Top Sub (item #6) and lubricate.

3.2 Remove the Detonator (item A) from it s package. Twist the ends of the lead wires together to electrically shunt the detonator.

Note: Refer to the User Manual specific to the detonator being used.

3.3 Slide the Plastic Tubing (item #12) over the shunted wires and down to the detonator body where the wires are joined. The Plastic Tubing will help protect the wires from being damaged, which could cause a misrun, during assembly.

3.4 Place the detonator in to an RP-67 approved detonator safety shield with the lead wires hanging out for access.

3.5 Make sure the wires stay shunted together while the wires are run through the Magnetic Top

Sub, from bottom to top.

3.6 Keeping the wires run through the Magnetic Top Sub, electrically arm the detonator while keeping the detonator contained within the RP-67 approved detonator safety shield.

4.0 Arming, Ballistically

4.1 Remove the detonator from the RP-67 approved detonator safety shield and slide it into the

Detonator Holder that sits just inside the Housing.

4.2 Push the Magnetic Top Sub in to the Housing until the O-rings seat onto their lands and the

Magnetic Top Sub threaded hole aligns with the through hole in the Housing.

Caution: Be sure not to pinch the detonator wires between the

Magnetic Top Sub and Detonator Holder when pushing the Magnetic

Top Sub into the Housing!

4.3 Install the Screw (item#4) into the Magnetic Top Sub so that the Magnetic Top Sub is secured to the Housing.

4.4 The tool is now armed and ready to run in hole.
