Perforation & Stimulation

Perforation is the process of piercing holes through casing, cement, and formation at selected intervals. The objective is to provide a flow path for the formation fluid to the wellbore. Perforation guns loaded with explosives are run in the hole either on a wireline or drill pipe and activated across the identified zone.

Simulation is the process of enhancing reservoir production. Once the well is perforated, it is tested to ascertain the reservoir's production rate by recording parameters like pressure, temperature, flow rate, etc. Depending on the type of reservoir and its properties, appropriate methods are adopted to enhance the flow rate.
