The effect of perforating conditions on well performance

OSTI ID:5569730

The productivity of a perforated gas well is affected strongly by non-Darcy or turbulent flow through the compacted zone around each perforation. The turbulence coefficient depends on the permeability of this compacted zone. This permeability, a function of perforation condition, can be used with perforation dimensions to predict gas well performance.
