Can I shoot the GasGun through tubing?
At this time the GasGun comes in a standard diameter of 3⅜ inches and we have released a 4 inch gun which is available in select markets. We frequently get requests to provide a smaller diameter tool that can fit through tubing. While it may be possible for us to develop such a tool, we are reluctant to do so. The GasGun has been proven to be an effective propellant stimulation tool primarily because of its progressive burning characteristics and the amount of propellant put in every tool. We would have to significantly reduce the propellant volume in order to make a tool that could fit through tubing. The reduced energy delivered to the formation would severely restrict the effectiveness of the stimulation. While we are eager to sell as many GasGuns as possible, we don’t want to provide a product to customers that isn’t likely to provide them with a return on their investment.
