DEF

To burn a hole through the casing with a shaped charge of high explosives instead of a gun that fires a projectile, as is used in bullet perforating.

OBS

The gun with loaded charges is lowered into the hole to the desired depth. Once detonated, the charges form short, penetrating jets of high-pressure gases that produce holes in the casing and cement and some distance into the formation. Formation fluids then flow into the wellbore through these holes, or perforations.
