AdvancedAlign™

Seamless Integration with Self-Orienting Gun Systems

SWM AdvancedAlign™ Charges are designed specifically for self-orienting perforating systems. When deployed in a PerfAlign™ Self-Orienting Perforating System, they deliver consistently superior hole quality — shooting the industry’s only truly burr-free holes, ranging from 0.25″ to 0.55″ diameter. Burr-free perforations create significantly less friction and turbulence during hydraulic fracturing, allowing more uniform pressure drop across the stage and enhancing completion performance.

AdvancedFrac™ Equal Entry

Consistent Holes for Effective Stimulation

SWM AdvancedFrac™ Equal-Entry™ Charges deliver low standard deviation performance at all phasing angles, producing burr-free holes ranging from 0.35″ to 0.55″. Consistent EHD and burr-free holes mean less friction and higher uniformity index, enhancing stimulation effectiveness.

Advanced ReFrac™

Engineered for Dual-String Situations

Refracturing a well often requires shooting new perforations through a small diameter liner cemented inside the original production casing. SWM Advanced ReFrac systems are specifically optimized to deliver larger, more consistent holes in dual-string applications, while preserving cement integrity between the liner and casing.

Advanced Good Hole™

Workhorse Systems for Inflow Performance

Proven in thousands of perforating applications, SWM Advanced™ Good Hole™ Charges are a general-purpose workhorse that delivers low standard deviation holes ranging from 0.30″ to 0.45″. Advanced Good Hole Charges can be customized for special applications and unusual well conditions.

Advanced Breakdown™

Reactive Power Delivering Clean Tunnels

SWM Advanced Breakdown Shaped Charges effectively clear compacted debris from perforation tunnels. These reactive charges use specifically engineered liner materials to create heat and pressure within the tunnel just microseconds after it forms, expelling rock and debris into the wellbore — leaving clean, open tunnels often with pre-fractured tips. Ideal for injection, production, and limited-entry applications.

Big Hole / SWD Systems

Maximum Area Open to Flow

Injectivity is directly proportional to area open to flow, so maximizing flow area is the name of the game when optimizing the performance of injector and disposal wells. SWM Advanced Big Hole charges meet this challenge, delivering some of the largest entry hole diameters the industry has ever seen.

Advanced Punch™

Establish Circulation Without Risk

SWM Advanced Punch charges are designed for tubing (wall thickness 0.20″–0.38″) and casing (wall thickness 0.38″–0.50″). Using a charge designed for thicker wall pipe than needed can cause serious damage. If you need greater flow area, shoot more charges not bigger ones!
