Abstract

Nowadays, a wide range of perforation methods and technologies are offered in the market of secondary opening in reservoir beds. Furthermore, many manufacturing companies are modernizing previously existing methods, one of which is hydromechanical piercing perforation - a relatively new method of opening the reservoir to obtain a hydrocarbon influx in a gentle mode without any deformation of the initial state of the walls of the production string and cement ring. The developers of this method note a number of advantages compared to other types of perforation. The article describes the operation principle of the oil and gas production and the resulting effect, approach and selection of wells for this method.
