    Horizontal Multi-Stage Perforating

    Pump Down Services (PDS) offers quick, efficient andcost effective deployment of multi-gun/plug runs formultiple stage completions

    PDS is a common deployment method used in horizontalunconventional wells primarily for guns and plugs but

    Efficient PDS now allow up to 5 stages per 24 hour day

    A typical single E-Line stage consists of

    Multiple guns (3 foot - 6 spf carriers) ((SelectivePerforating))

    What role do perforations play?

    Unless a perforating gun iscentralized, the perforationcasing hole diameters are a

    function of gun phasing. Thismeans that the injection rate
