Tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP) technology has grown dramatically during the past 5 years. This paper presents a general overview of state-of-the-art TCP systems and operating techniques and discusses the TCP benefits and the tradeoffs involved in the use of conventional wireline perforating. The TCP gun string, and the guns are positioned across the zones of interest. When the TCP string is positioned with a nuclear-type logging device, the surface well-control equipment installed, and the desired pressure underbalance established.
