Overbalance Perforation

Overbalance perforation is the process of perforating the well with hydrostatic pressure inside the casing or liner more than the reservoir pressure. Overbalance perforation ensures maintaining complete control on the well. However it risks causing formation damage as the wellbore fluid tends to flow into the reservoir through the perforation tunnel.
