Red  Kite  Oilfield  Services  is  a  licensed  service  provider  for  MCR  Oil  Tools  LLC  industry  proven  
non-­‐explosive  non-­‐hazmat  pipe  severance  and  perforating  tools.  

 
The  Red  Kite  team  has  over  100  years’  experience  in  the  oil  and  gas  service  sector  providing  
solutions   to   its   customers   supporting   drilling,   workovers,   completions   and   plug   and  
abandonment  operations.  

 
The   innovative   pipe   cutting   and   perforating   equipment   can   be   deployed   on   e-­‐line,   slick   line,  
coil   tubing   and   jointed   pipe,   providing   the   flexibility   to   meet   and   solutions   to   customers  
challenges.   The   tools   offered   can   perforate   and   cut   from   Coil   Tubing   to   9-­‐5/8”   casing.  
 
Due   to   the   non-­‐hazmat,   non-­‐explosive   status   the   tools   can   be   transported   globally   on  
passenger  aircraft  with  no  restrictions,  this  allows  Red  Kite  to  distribute  the  required  tools  
quickly   and   efficiently   globally   at   short   notice.   Red   Kite   provide   these   services   in   the   UK,  
Scandinavia,  Europe,  Africa,  Middle  East  and  Australasia.  

We   have   the   most   competent   RCT   specialists   and   the   most   complete   equipment   in   this  
region!  We  can  cut  the  pipe  with  e  line,  slickline  or  coil  tubing.  

MCR’s   Radial   Cutting   Torch™   provides   the   oilfield   industry   with   the   safest   and  
most  efficient  pipe  cutting    or  severance  alternative  to  explosives  or  hazardous  chemicals.  
MCR’s  RADIAL  CUTTING  TORCH  tool  is  a  patented  cutting  device  used  to  sever  tubing,  casing,  
drill   pipe,   packer   mandrel   and   coiled   tubing   without   the   use   of   explosives   or   hazardous  
materials,   making   it   one   of   the   safest   pipe   cutting   tools   on   the   pipe   recovery   market.   Using  
advanced   technology,   the   patented   nozzle   and   proprietary   mixture   of   various   powdered  
metals   produces   jets   of   highly   energized   plasma   to   cut   virtually   any   type   of   pipe   in   any   well  
condition.  Because  the  RCT  does  not  use  explosives  or  hazardous  chemicals,  the  tool  can  be  
shipped   almost   anywhere   in   the   world,   saving   significant   time   and   associated   costs,   while  
remaining   compliant   with   safety   regulations.   We   can   run   the   tool   with   e-­‐line,   wireline,  
slickline  and  coil  tubing.  
 
MCR’s   RADIAL   CUTTING   TORCH   assembly   is   lowered   into   the   well   until   desired   depth   is  
reached.   MCR’s   THERMAL   GENERATOR   ignites   and   activates   the   primary   fuel   load;   highly  
energized   plasma   is   produced   causing   an   increase   in   internal   pressure.   Once   the   pressure  
produced  inside  the  torch  exceeds  that  of  the  well  bore,  the  protective  sleeve  is  displaced  
exposing  the  nozzle  to  the  well  bore.  Plasma  exits  thru  the  nozzle  to  sever  the  target  in  drilling,  
completion  or  production  scenarios,  within  well  bore  temperatures  up  to  500°  (260°C)  and  
pressures  to  20,000  psi  (137.9  MPa).  The  pipe  can  be  in  tension  or  compression  or  neutral.

Advantages  of  the  RCT  over  JET  and  Chemical  Cutters  or  Severing  Tool  or  
Downhole  Mechanical  Cutter  

MCR  Oil  Tools’  RCT:  

»  IS  NOT  an  explosive  or  dangerous  chemical.  
»  Classified  as  a  Flammable  Solid,  Organic,  NOS.,  UN1325  Section  4.1.  
»  No  special  storage,  handling,  or  disposal  problems.  
»  Causes  no  flaring  or  swelling  of  the  pipe  to  be  cut.  
»  Cuts  all  stainless  steels,  Hasteloy®,  Monel®,  Inconel®  and  plastic  coated  pipes.  
»  Can  be  run  through  restrictions  to  cut  larger  diameter  pipe.  
»  Can  be  used  in  close  contact  pipe  conditions.  
»  Can  cut  in  dry  pipe  conditions.  
»  Can  operate  in  temperatures  to  500°F.  
»  Can  cut  in  exotic  fluids  or  drilling  mud  without  problems.  
»  Cuts  heavy  wall  pipe.  
»  New  patented  Pressure  Balance  Anchor  system  eliminates  movement,  slipping  or  sticking  
problems  associated  with  other  anchors.  
»  Pressure  Balance  Anchor  does  not  contain  moving  parts,  eliminating  the  problems  
associated  with  going  through  restrictions  and  operating  in  larger  diameters  below  the  
restriction.  
»The  complete  system  is  safe  to  use  in  Radio  Sensitive  areas  such  as  offshore  platforms  or  
drill  ships  without  going  into  Radio  Silence,  resulting  in  significant  savings  in  rig  time.  
  
 
MCR’s  PERFORATING  TORCH  CUTTER  
 

MCR’s  PERFORATING  TORCH  CUTTER  assembly  is  lowered  into  the  well  to  the  desired  depth.  
MCR’s    THERMAL  GENERATOR  ignites  and  activates  the  primary  fuel  load  causing  an  increase  
in  internal    pressure.  Following  internal  pressure  rise,  plasma  exits  the  torch  which  perforates  
the  target  pipe.  By  design,  the  PTC  cutting  jet  forces  the  tool  against  the  wall  of  the  pipe;  the  
high  frictional  forces  between  the  PTC  and  the  wall  of  the  pipe  are  greater  than  the  thrust  
forces  exerted  by  the  pressure  bubble,    stabilizing  the  perforator  to  make  the  cut.  It  is  this  
feature  that  allows  MCR’s  perforators  to  function  properly  in  plugged  pipe  situations.  This  can  
replace  the  conventional  explosive  puncher.  

PTC’s  are  available  for:  

 
•  standard  applications  
•  undersized  for  restrictions  
•  HP-­‐HT  environments  
•  custom  tools  available  
 
Remote  Firing  Mechanism™  (RFM)  
MCR’s  Remote  Firing  Mechanism  offers  a  multifunctional  firing  system  used  to  log  well  data  
and   activate   the   most   efficient   line   of   cutting   and   perforating   tools   in   the   slickline   or   coil  
tubing  arena.  Designed  and  field  proven  with  safety,  versatility,  and  serviceability  at  its  core,  
the  RFM  is  certified  for  RF  immune  operations  and  can  be  run  on  slickline,  coil  tubing  or  drill  
pipe,   with   a   pressure   firing   system,   to   activate   all   of   MCR’s   pipe   cutting,   perforating   and  
setting  tool  systems.  

BENEFITS  
 
Smart  
User  defined  pressure,  temperature,  time  and  movement  thresholds  can  be  programmed  at  
the  well  site.  
 
Safe  
Multiple   safe   thresholds   built   into   the   RFM   ensure   that   operator   and   well   safety   are   not  
compromised.  Additional  operational  control/safe  features  include  all  fire  shutdown  (disables  
all  RFM  operations  during    well  exit  process  eliminating  all  the  surface  initiation).  
 
Reliable  
Designed  to  overcome  challenges  associated  with  minimum  restrictions  while  delivering  up  
to  two  weeks  loiter  time  in  HPHT  environments.  
 
  
Versatile  
Having  the  ability  to  conduct  a  logging  pass  for  data  collection  offers  the  operator  the  ability  
to  pinpoint  the  thresholds  necessary  to  place  the  cut  or  perforation  with  stunning  accuracy.  
 
Deployable  
Able  to  be  deployed  with  “off-­‐the-­‐shelf”  alkaline  batteries  when  temperatures  allow,  or  with  
regionally  available  high  temperature  lithium  cells.  
 
Flexible  
Deployed   as   a   pressure   firing   system,   MCR’s   RFM   adds   an   additional   versatility   when  
conducting  operations  requiring  pressure  activation  control  of  down  hole  MCR  cutters  and  
MCR  perforators.  
 
*Additional  Systems  
 
Expansion  modules  enabling  Gamma  and  CCL  correlation  are  in  development.
