Advantages
GasGun vs. Explosives
- No compaction zone or stress cage
- Pressures last longer for maximum fracture penetration
- Can be used in perforated casing
- Less cleanup - immediate production
- Predictable results
- Easier and safer handling
GasGun vs. Hydraulic Fracturing
- Minimal vertical growth out of pay
- Multiple fractures
- Selected zones stimulated without the need to set packers or ball off
- Minimal formation damage from incompatible fluids
- Homogeneous permeability for injection wells
- Minimal on-site equipment needed
- Much lower cost
GasGun vs. Other Propellant Tools
- Full-bore charge for maximum energy density and gas volume
- Progressive burning for maximum fracture penetration
- No fillers added - All active ingredients
- Scientifically provenĀ burn rate provides for optimal multiple fracturing
- Minimal energy lossĀ unlike slow burning rocket-motor propellants
- Better propping characteristics
- Technology proven by independent research
