APC OFS's Perforating Torch Cutter tool provides the industry with a safe, efficient, and reliable pipe punching alternative to explosives. The PTC cuts with Non-Explosive and Non-Hazmat Advanced Cutting Technology.

APC OFS's Perforating Torch Cutter tool effectively perforates coiled tubing, tubing, casing and drill pipe during pipe recovery, perforation, and other well intervention operations. When running a job that requires adequate flow into the annulus, explosive perforators and punchers are unreliable in many configurations at producing a consistent or sufficient hole in pipe. APC OFS's line of punchers allow operators to perforate or circulate with confidence while relying on APC OFS's field proven technology.

The patented nozzle and proprietary mixture of various powdered metals produces jets of highly energized plasma to perforate virtually any type of pipe in any well condition. Because the PTC tool does not use explosives or hazardous chemicals, the tool can be shipped almost anywhere in the world within 24 hours, saving significant time and associated costs, while remaining compliant with safety regulations.
