Hard rocks are difficult to penetrate, making every inch of open tunnel important to bypass near-wellbore damage and reach the productive formation beyond. Deep penetration isn’t enough; the perforations have to be clean and open to flow — all the way to the tunnel tip. That’s why SWM engineers and tests both conventional and reactive charges to deliver flow paths not plugged-up pinholes.
Soft, poorly-consolidated formations usually can’t support stable perforation tunnels. Instead, you need to create the largest area possible that’s open to flow, mitigating the risk of sand production and lower flow velocity to minimize erosion. SWM Advanced Big Hole charges meet this challenge, delivering some of the largest entry hole diameters the industry has ever seen.
From burr-free frac charges to reactive systems for tunnel cleanout to the industry’s largest holes for injectivity.
