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 |
 |
Lower peak pressures reduce peripheral damage |
 |
Better propping characteristics |
 |
Technology proven by independent
research |
