  • Our customizable perforating systems combine affordability, flexibility, and quality, no matter the downhole application. 

Our Services

Our consistent hole charges are engineered to deliver consistent, fit-for-purpose holes and to reduce variance between phasing for more uniform erosion and stimulation.

HERO® O-FRAC

Enhanced charge performance for extreme, limited entry and oriented completions.

HERO® PerFRAC

Consistent hole sizes to equalize perforation friction and minimize the effects of tortuosity.

ReFRAC

Rethink the way you re-complete.
Consistent holes through multiple strings.

Deep, clean perforation tunnels create a best-case permeable connection between the wellbore and the productive reservoir. Our HERO® charges provide deep penetration with lower associated debris and skin damage.

HERO®-HardRock

Super deep penetrating charges tuned for stressed rock conditions.

HERO®

Extreme deep penetration without the debris associated with other high-density liner materials.

Core Lab’s PAC line is specifically designed to provide a variety of options that generate greater consistency when trying to do a cement squeeze or circulate through various annuli.

PAC™

Attain 100% radial coverage without compromising the integrity of the outer casing string.

UZI™

Enhance your flow performance in cement squeeze applications.

Helios

Ultra-high shot density gun system with a phasing orientation that is optimally designed for P&A perf wash operations.

Pulverizor

High-shot density optimized for pressure distribution and cement breakup.

Limit the production of unwanted formation sand when perforating with our patented line of Phantom® charges.

Phantom®

Decrease debris left in the wellbore, while maximizing the area open to flow.

Our Thru-Tubing Systems’ charges offer higher explosive loads to maximize perforation performance, even in wellbores with tubing restrictions.

Shogun™

Run larger perforating charges in large-diameter casing strings, even with tubing restrictions.

Raptor™

Optimized charges for deeper penetration.
