Video Tech Talk: How to Improve Perforating Efficiency
Improve your perforating efficiency by using a single wireline deployment.
Engineered wireline-conveyed perforating systems maximize production
New hardware breakthroughs combined with advanced software modeling enable conducting ultralong and heavy wireline perforating jobs in both offshore and land operations. Using wireline perforating instead of conventional conveyance techniques during deep and complex well interventions improves efficiency while reducing rig time and cost.
Wireline (or electric line) is the traditional way to run perforating guns, and with good reason: Wireline provides the advantages of real-time depth control and selectivity along with reduced logistics compared with deployment on tubing. Although wireline perforating guns were initially categorized by whether they are used before the completion is run (casing guns) or through the completion (through-tubing guns), today, any type of engineered perforating system can be run on wireline along with a wide variety of other explosive devices.
Regardless of the type of perforating gun, our engineered perforating systems are optimized for the gun and charge combination with respect to the wellbore environment, reservoir and fluid content, and completion geometry.
Wireline provides live communication between the downhole gun system and the surface for accurate depth control of any conveyance.
Regardless of the type of perforating gun, our engineered wireline perforating systems can suit any wellbore environment.
Wireline perforating operations can be performed on live wells—with or without a rig on location.

The Productivity Enhancement Research Facility (PERF) brings together the industry’s most technologically advanced testing systems and expert staff to directly determine how your reservoir will perform when perforated, reducing risk and optimizing recovery.
Perforating design
No longer do you need to guess how perforating changes will perform in your wells. By holistically accounting for the well, fluid, and formation environment, perforating design integrates shaped charges and perforating gun systems to minimize damage and maximize the wellbore‑to‑reservoir connection.
Shaped charges
Whether for the deepest penetration, big hole, or uniform perforating applications, our shaped charges are performance tested at reservoir conditions so you can optimize your well’s completion—and productivity.
Perforating gun systems
We engineer our perforating guns as systems that integrate the carriers, shaped charges, and accessories—with all components manufactured to rigorous QC standards.
Conveyance
We offer solutions for wireline, slickline, coiled tubing, or tubing-conveyed operations.
