Committed to 100% Intrinsically Safe Detonators In Q4 of 2015 and 2016 when everyone else was switching to a less-safe, EB platform, we stuck with intrinsically safe shooting systems – We do not waiver on detonator quality and safety.
Implementation of Digital platforms and enhanced communication Aradia/iScout instant notifications and reporting for management and customers. Our customers can define their desired alerts. Training programs for employees. We’ve implemented regular training calendars for all roles
Extensive pre-job equipment checks facilitate safety and accuracy Real-time reports are available. Before the job even begins, the Renegade pump-down crew calibrates all equipment.
SSE Mentorship Program The Supervisors and co-workers must be able to readily identify Short Service Employee participants. Renegade Services assigns experienced employees to oversee the daily activities of those assigned to the SSE program to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses to new hires and temporary workers.
Company-wide AESC Gold Award for Safety Renegade has received the AESC gold award for safety every year since 2017.
Renegade has adopted the IDC tool which is used strategically on highly deviated wells as a gun breaking system.

The Downhole InSight™ NuWAV™ camera provides quality video of conditions downhole, allowing problem identification such as a stuck object, a split within the casing, deviation and anything else that is visible from inside the wellbore. This unique wellbore camera provides real-time imaging by capturing high-resolution video of the borehole environment. This data helps geologists and engineers reduce drilling fluid losses, and make educated decisions about completions methods, retrieval of lost tools, and integrity issues with tubing and casing. The high-resolution NuWAV™ camera helps to mitigate the uncertainty of downhole operations, and supports the operator’s formation evaluation program. Imaging systems from Renegade are a cost-effective and efficient method for gathering detailed downhole data.
This high-tech, versatile formation evaluation system is designed to gather the maximum amount of borehole imaging data. NuWAV™ is suitable for both conventional and deviated wells.

Let’s start the conversation about how Renegade and NuWAVTM can work for you.
This highly efficient tool—fast becoming indispensable during wireline runs—increases productivity on-site and significantly decreases risk variables associated with operations. Not only is the strain on equipment alleviated but the equipment operators are no longer positioned under a suspended load. Gunhandler is actively being used on pads across the U.S. where crews have reported “feeling crippled when trying to operate without it.”
Regardless of the amount of safety training, there is still an element of risk during wellsite operations. Reduction in operator fatigue from the use of the Gunhandler™ is pivotal in creating a shop-caliber environment in the field. More focus is put back into service quality rather than heavy lifting. This higher service quality can lead to fewer gun-misfires, less stress on tools, unexpected modes of failure and longer tool life.
The Gunhandler was designed with the equipment operator in mind. The hydraulically actuated lift bunk ranges from horizontal to 80º and eliminates the need for manual dolly laydowns. Taking the operator out of the line of fire removes many of the risk variables associated with near-wellhead operations. The six-pad landing gear not only provides a stable footing for anchored operation but also creates a clearly defined “no-go” zone when lifting or laying down the toolstring. During Gunhandler operation, the two-position butt stock has a ratcheting lock feature for piece-of-mind, so tools remain secured and is spring-retained in the event that an operator forgets to ratchet it down before use.
Increases in the number of stages completed per day can put added strain on operators and increase the risk for potential fatigue-related incidents. The increased frequency of rebuilding of guns is similar to the high volume of repair at the shop level. Gunhandler has an overall height of 42 in. and provides an ideal working height for the operator. Renegade is bridging the gap to assist our field operators by providing shop-like conditions at the wellsite.
The compact design of the Gunhandler keeps areas near the wellhead clear and allows operators more room to work. Virtually no added room is needed to place Gunhandler into the work zone, yet it provides the functional capability of 23 ft of vertical support to the tool string. With an overall width of 6 ft, it has advantages over many other industry solutions and allows workers to easily reach tools without strain during a rebuild.
One-person rig-up/down makes the Gunhandler one of the simplest pieces of equipment to setup, run or transport. Variable speed control allows the operator to adjust the rate of the crane operation for maximum precision.
