Perforating Gun Systems

Maximized productivity from your well depends on getting the perforations right, located in the productive interval, correctly oriented, deep and clean, our hollow carrier and capsule perforating guns are engineered systems that are optimized for the wellbore environment, reservoir, and completion geometry. 

Capsule Guns: exposed gun systems, with the individual shaped charges sealed in pressure-tight protective capsules mounted on a carrier strip or links that are exposed to the well environment.

Expendable and Retrievable systems: the two types of capsule guns are expendable (the charges and mounting assembly are left as debris after firing) and retrievable (debris is left, but the mounting is recovered for use where debris is a concern). 

Super Deep Penetrating (SDP) charges: offer unbeatable penetration when compared to conventional shaped charges while maintaining excellent hole diameter. These large holes assure greater tunnel volume beyond the damaged zone allowing for enhanced flow and productivity.

Good Hole (GH) charges: are unique in that they offer a perfect balance between larger hole diameter while retaining very good penetration. 

Big Hole (BH) charges: produce the maximum hole diameter and area of flow while keeping an effective penetration, perfect for gravel pack or frac pack operations.
