Perforating Guns Using Explosive Technique
Course Description
Oil industries make use of Perforations for Hydrocarbon Exploration. Well bore has different formations which contains different fluids. During drilling these formation fluids are not allowed to flow inside the well bore with over balanced mud. Once well is drilled & logged, formations are identified which are interesting (Hydrocarbon bearing). For hydrocarbon exploration well is cased & cemented to check the fluid flow from these formations. A path has to be created for the fluid from interested formation by the method termed Perforation.A tunnel is created in casing, cement & formation by Perforation technique. Depending upon the well completion, Formation pressure & other parameters different perforating technique are used to perforate the well. Basically different perforating guns are used to fire the bullets (Jet Charges) to create the tunnels. These jet charges make use of explosives to perform the task.

The course will cover various methods of perforations, their advantages & disadvantages. This will help the candidates to decide the method for perforation in their well.
