    HEPF technology uses both explosives and propellants to perforate wells in hard formations. It can achieve penetration rates of 50% in formations with strengths up to 15,000 psi and 25% in formations up to 25,000 psi. The process involves loading perforating guns with charges and propellants, detonating them at depth to create high pressure gas and fractures, and allowing the gas to dissipate and remove damaged fines. Case studies show HEPF increasing production over conventional perforating by 70% in one well and over 80% in another.

    Basic Process
    Propellants and shaped charges are loaded and run in hole.
    The guns are detonated at the expected depth.
    Basic Process

    High pressure gas produced and created fractures.


    Basic Process
    When the gas pressure dissipates, damaging fines
    are carried away.
