EX-charges
Uniform perforating entrance holes available in a selection of sizes
Achieve consistent entrance hole sizes in 5?-in casing
Are you looking for a solution that maximizes the effectiveness of your 5 plug and perf operations? The next generation of shaped charges (EX?charges) have been specifically developed to address the challenge of achieving consistent and optimal perforation results, regardless of the formation. These shaped charges provide consistent entry hole sizes, with less than 5% variation, in 5½?in casing. Choose the size of the charge that best meets the needs of your reservoir.
EX-charges create uniform perforation entrance holes across the wellbore azimuth for a range of gun standoffs. Best of all, this uniformity is achieved without any loss of penetration depth compared with standard deep-penetrating charges, so you can maintain efficiency and effectiveness in your operations.

Overcome the challenges of traditional shaped charges
Traditional deep-penetrating shaped charges are designed for conventional completions, focusing on maximizing the depth of penetration. However, they often fail to produce uniformly shaped and sized entrance holes, which are crucial for improving fracture distribution between individual perforations.
Increase flow area, decrease pressure drop, and reduce operational risks
Consistent entrance holes significantly increase the area open to flow for each perforation, reducing pressure drop and lowering treating pressures. This not only minimizes the risk of early screenout but also enhances fracturing efficiency while reducing operational risks.
Upgrade your perforating process with EX-charges and enjoy the benefits of uniform entrance holes, enhanced fracture distribution, and consistent performance.
