Good planning of a well-perforation operation requires a thorough examination of the environment in the perforating zone, the resources available to perform the job, the objectives of the specific completion or workover program, and the attributes and constraints of the available perforating equipment, as explained by H.K. van Poollen and Associates Inc. and Great Eastern Energy and Development Corp. in Part 8 of a series on well completion and workover. To achieve the maximum deliverability from perforations, operators must 1) avoid wellbore damage and 2) use perforators that not only produce good penetration but also provide satisfactory cleanup characteristics.
