In 1981, Huffco Indonesia, a production-sharing contractor to Pertamina, was the first company in Indonesia to use tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP) in its well completions. This paper draws conclusions on the benefits of using a TCP technique over wire-line perforating techniques. Of the 75 TCP jobs done, less than 10% can be considered failures. The results achieved with various amounts of underbalance are compared with published results. TCP is considered the most effective-perforating technique currently available.
