Perforation is an important in the petroleum exploration. It is also used to improve the recovery of oil and gas wells. In perforating processes, perforating bullets make use of perforating gun pipes as gun carrier for positioning the direction of perforation and protect oil casing in the explosion procedure. 

The need for its performance and quality, particularly its transverse impact durability needs are extremely strict. Steel tube for perforating gun is mostly put to use for producing the body of the perforating gun in gas and oil wells. 

The steel grade and standards comprise 33Mn2V, API SPEC 5CT and 32CrMo4. Perforating gun pipe has spearhead, gun-barrel, sealing element, gun breech, and other components.

A perforating gun is put to use in well bore perforating in the natural gas and oil industries for tying a bore hole with a storing horizon in which a storage reservoir of natural gas or oil is positioned.

What are the Advantages of Making Use of a Perforating Gun?

Steel tube of the gun is made from 32CrMo4 and 25Mn2V materials. Post testing, its performance, measurement and examination all comply with the set requirements. 

The size of perforating gun pipe will alter slightly due to heat and straightening, particularly the end diameter of the pipe will reduce somewhat. Cutting 2 pipe ends can get you over the issue of pipe end reduction for attaining customers’ requirements for the dimensional precision and for meeting the needs of tech specifications for the steel tube for the gun.

Coming to a Conclusion

There are various technological advancements in perforating gun systems, and that is the reason, the demand for the same is on the rise and will reach a value of USD 1,733 million, by the end of this decade.
