How It Works

Well Action Diagram

  • Create multiple radial fractures extending 10 to 50 feet from the wellbore. Minimal vertical growth avoids problems often associated with hydraulic fracturing
  • Remove skin and clean up the wellbore damaged by perforators, drilling fines, cement, paraffin, mud cake, etc.
  • Stimulate heterogeneous production zones, such as lenticular sands, with a higher profitability of success. Fractures reach out in several directions, thus increasing your chance of intersecting the producing formations.
  • Improve effectiveness of acidizing by fracturing first with the GasGun, allowing acid to etch new channels into formation.
  • Enhance production in naturally fractured reservoirs by intersecting more fractures.
  • Prepare well for hydraulic fracturing by breaking down formation first with the GasGun. Treating pressures are often dramatically reduced.
  • Increase injection and withdrawal rates in gas storage wells damaged by compressor oils.
  • Improve waterflood efficiency by providing increased and more uniform injection rates.
