Wellpro overbalance tubing conveyed perforation solutions creates pathway from reservoir into wellbore using 7” 18spf hmx sh charges

Background

A Marginal operator is required to carry out overbalance perforation to access 2 targeted reservoirs on one of their land wells
The formation was unconsolidated and thus required that the perforation support Gravel pack placement
Wellpro TCP Guns were loaded as per client perforation interval and mobilized to the location along with firing heads and ancillary equipment

Operation

7” Guns loaded 18 SPF with HMX Super Hole charges at XX-degree phasing were prepared as per the client-provided intervals
The guns were made up of a Mechanical Firing head with a drop bar firing system
As per safety protocol, sufficient spacers were run on the top gun as well as to separate the upper and lower peroration intervals
The BHA was run in the well along with other ancillary tools
On correlating the guns to depth with the Correlation Pup Joint, the firing bar was dropped from the surface to activate the firing head and detonate the guns.

Achievements

The perforating guns were positioned on depth in both runs and detonated successfully with sufficient surface indication
Upon pulling out of the hole, all shots were fired and in scallop.
Total Interval of 40 feet was perforated with the HMX Super hole charge creating large entry hole and deep penetration for maximum reservoir production
