Perforating
You want maximum productivity from your reservoir. Whether in new or existing wells, maximum production depends on optimized perforating.
Schlumberger engineered perforating systems can help you achieve the best production or injection in your well by optimizing the relationship between the gun system, wellbore, and your reservoir. Schlumberger perforating systems enable you to
- measure to fully characterize the reservoir rock and fluids
- perforate with the optimum design of gun system and charge
- clean the perforations by controlling wellbore dynamics while perforating
- monitor to maximize reservoir productivity.
Schlumberger offers capsule and hollow carrier gun systems with a wide variety of perforating charges for every environment.
Tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP) allows long, heavy gun strings to be run in all well conditions.
Wireline (or electric line) is the traditional way to run perforating guns, providing the advantages of real-time depth control and selectivity.
Completion perforating enables large, long strings of guns to be installed with the completion and fired with the right completion fluid in place for immediate cleanup and production.
The CWOK process uses underbalance, dynamic underbalance (PURE), or extreme underbalance perforating for clean perforations, then removes the guns without killing the well.
Slickline is a fast and efficient conveyance method that can be used for many explosive services such as perforating, setting plugs or packers, or cutting tubing.
Coiled tubing allows perforating guns to be run into extended-reach or horizontal wells and also allows longer, heavier gun strings to be run.
Schlumberger has solutions for drillpipe, coiled tubing, and tubing recovery and special techniques for cement squeeze, punching tubing, junk shots, and other applications.
