CONSISTENT HOLE SIZES TO EQUALIZE
PERFORATION FRICTION AND MINIMIZE
THE EFFECTS OF TORTUOSITY
BNR Testimonial:
"Bravo Natural Resources has been testing various diverter technologies and since switching to the Owen Oil Tools
HERO®PerFRAC charge we have seen a more consistent calculated number of holes open after step down tests before
introducing the diverter. It appears that the uncertainty around hole size has been reduced by using the HERO®PerFRAC equal hole size charge.”
HERO®PerFRAC is the latest generation HERO® charge specifically designed to improve the
efficiency of fracturing operations in today’s unconventional reservoirs. HERO®PerFRAC
charges produce consistent entry hole sizes, regardless of gun position, to allow fracture
initiation to occur at the face of the borehole. Utilizing HERO® super deep penetrating
technology enables fracture initiation along the perforation tunnel at intersecting natural
fractures. HERO®PerFRAC charges have been tested to verify that entry hole size performance
is not affected by hydrostatic pressure, and penetration performance has been verified in
stressed natural rock, including shale.

Specify HERO®PerFRAC!
Advantages:
- Minimizes effects of tortuosity
- Maximizes cluster efficiency and increases SRV (Stimulated Reservoir Volume)
- Results in even distribution of fracture treatment and proppant placement
- Aides in reduction of treating pressures, reducing costs associated with hydraulic fracturing operations
- No special hardware required - uses Owen standard hardware
