Increase production and improve well productivity with RockJet perforating charges

RockJet shaped charges provide the deepest penetration in downhole stressed rock conditions while maximizing casing hole size, delivering the greatest possible well performance.

Inflow modeling demonstrates that maximizing reservoir contact through deep and clean perforating tunnels that extend beyond the damage zone is critical for achieving the highest rates of productivity and injectivity in natural completion wells.

RockJet Perforating Charges

How is your perforating charge performing downhole?

Traditional surface tests performed in concrete targets are not a reliable indicator of downhole charge performance. The RockJet perforating charge was developed using stressed rock cores for optimized performance in real-world downhole conditions and confirmed using the industry’s first fully transparent witnessed test program under APIs new test protocol.

22%

Higher penetration into stressed rock

32%

Larger entry hole diameter (EHD)

83%

More area open to flow (AOF)

Applications

  • Natural completion or stimulation wells 
  • Production and injection 
  • Any perforating gun conveyance method

Features

  • Developed to maximize performance in stressed rock targets—NOT concrete
  • Patented charge-securing design to reduce charge debris
  • Compatible with 4 1/2-in. 5-spf, 4 5/8-in. 5-spf, and 7-in. 12-spf gun systems

Benefits

  • Maximizes reservoir contact through larger EHD and deeper formation penetration
  • Greatly increases well productivity and injectivity

Optimum reservoir connectivity

The charges allow operators to maximize well productivity by providing optimum reservoir connectivity through deeper formation penetration and a larger perforation tunnel diameter downhole. RockJet shaped charges increase production and improve well productivity and injectivity by maximizing reservoir contact through deep and clean perforating tunnels that extend beyond the damage zone. When tested at downhole conditions, they delivered 22% higher penetration and an 83% increase in area open to flow.
