Hollow carrier perforating gun systems
Improve precision, reliability, and efficiency in well perforating operations
Overview
Elevate your perforating efficiency with hollow carrier perforating gun systems
Hollow carrier perforating systems are engineered to revolutionize well perforation. These steel tubes, built to withstand intense pressure, house shaped charges that deliver precision and efficiency. In comparison with exposed guns, hollow carrier systems enable the use of larger charges with improved phasing and enhanced shot density—making them the superior choice for perforating gun system outer diameters of 2 7/8 in and above.
This design is ideal for scenarios requiring debris-free performance or in harsh well environments where other perforating gun systems fall short. The result? Cleaner operations and higher reliability across challenging conditions.
Advantages of hollow carrier perforating gun systems
Engineered as a complete system
Every hollow carrier gun system is meticulously designed to maximize well perforating performance. These systems include carriers, charges, detonating cords, and boosters—all manufactured under rigorous quality assurance and control standards. Performance is validated through API RP 19B Section 1 testing, ensuring reliability in the field.
Using a penetration model from SPAN Rock™ stressed-rock perforating analysis takes this customization a step further, tailoring gun system configurations to specific wellbore environments and reservoir conditions. This model allows you to fine-tune for optimal results, delivering precise energy where it matters most.
