Can I shoot the GasGun with a lubricator or other pressure control equipment?
Yes, a lubricator may be used at the surface, but care must be taken to provide a few hundred feet of air cushion on top of the fluid tamp to act as a shock absorber. If the well is filled to the surface and then closed tight with pressure control equipment, the pressure wave from the GasGun will be transmitted directly to the surface. The water hammer effect will more than likely damage surface equipment. In very shallow wells it may be more desirable to fill the well to the surface with fluid that will do no harm if expelled and then allow it to escape.
