SWM Advanced Breakdown Shaped Charges™

Using a combination of heat and pressure, SWM’s Advanced Breakdown Shaped Charges™ are proven to effectively clear compaction and debris from perforation zones. When exposed to heat and pressure, the specialized internal chemistry of these charges reacts by generating both kinetic and exothermic energy that clears debris from a perforation. This action effectively breaks up and removes debris and compacted materials back into the wellbore, providing an unobstructed perforation.

The Advanced Breakdown Charge can be used with any SWM perforating gun, including PerfAlign™ Self-Orientating Guns, with no clearance issues.

SWM Advanced Breakdown Charges also offer a number of additional benefits including:

  • Provides effective perforation of heterogeneous zones
  • Delivers improved perforation performance for mature wells
  • Creates a pathway for efficient fracture stimulation
  • Offers a more efficient perforating process for limited-entry applications
