The authors discuss how surging the formation with a wireline retrievable tool can remove debris from perforations and increase flow channel area, thereby potentially increasing production from existing wells. The basic procedure for surging the formation with the backsurge tool is described, as are procedures for formations with sufficient pressure and for those with lower pressure. Applications of back surge tools are discussed and the use of the tubing conveyed perforating system (TCP) is focused on in this article.
