The home office of
The GasGun, Inc., is located in West Linn, Oregon, a few miles south of
Portland. We have established contractual relationships with wireline
companies in Ohio, Illinois,
Kansas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Utah, California, and Canada that, in turn, perform GasGun stimulation services
for well owners. We are now supplying GasGun tools to European and Middle
Eastern markets through a distributor in Croatia as well as the ASEAN
countries through our distributor in Malaysia. With storage and assembly facilities in
Fairfield, Illinois, The GasGun, Inc. is well positioned to
supply the wireline companies with an inventory of GasGun tools so that
they are available quickly to serve the immediate needs of the well
owners.
The GasGun, Inc. (formerly J Integral Engineering) was formed in 1992, initially to provide engineering
consulting services. In August 1994, we won a Small Business Innovation Research
grant from the Department of Energy to develop, test, optimize, and
commercialize the use of progressively burning solid propellant for the
economical stimulation of oil and gas wells. The concept, initially conceived
from a research study at Sandia National Laboratories in the early 1970's, was
shown to be feasible during Phase I of that grant. Phase II, which began in
September 1995, concentrated on field testing and optimization of the design.
With the success of the field trials, the GasGun became commercial in July
1998.
Early success with the GasGun in the Appalachian Basin provided the impetus
to expand the service into the Illinois Basin and later to
Kentucky, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Canada, Europe, etc . Continued expansion into other oil and gas
markets is planned as rapidly as practicable. We are anxious to help well owners
throughout the U.S. increase their production with this exciting new stimulation
concept.
