Perforating Services

Engineered cased-hole, thru-tubing and high-density perforating with link, casing and strip gun systems.

Overview

Tucker Energy Services delivers engineered perforating solutions designed to provide safe, reliable and efficient access to the reservoir across a wide range of well conditions. Our Perforating Services Business Unit supports cased-hole, thru-tubing and high-density perforating applications, utilising big-hole and deep-penetration charge technologies to maximise formation connectivity and production performance.

Backed by experienced engineers, disciplined operational execution and strict adherence to HSE and quality standards, TES provides tailored perforating programmes that meet the technical and operational requirements of both local and international operators.

What we offer

Our perforating capabilities

  • Link gun systems

    Link guns are modular perforating systems composed of individual gun sections connected by mechanical links, offering exceptional flexibility in gun string design and deployment.

    • Applications
      • Multi-zone perforating in a single run
      • Vertical, deviated and horizontal wells
      • Selective zone targeting and phased firing
      • Complex completion designs requiring variable gun lengths
    • Operational advantage

      The modular design allows precise placement and efficient perforation of multiple intervals in one deployment, reducing rig time while enhancing operational control and formation access.

  • Casing gun systems

    Casing guns are large-diameter, high-energy perforating systems deployed inside casing strings and engineered for deep penetration and high shot density in primary completions.

    • Applications
      • Cased-hole completions requiring maximum penetration
      • High-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) environments
      • Vertical and horizontal wellbores
      • Reservoirs requiring enhanced flow efficiency
    • Operational advantage

      These systems deliver powerful, consistent perforation performance that maximises reservoir connectivity, supporting higher productivity and long-term well integrity.

  • Strip gun systems

    Strip guns are slim, exposed-charge perforating systems specifically designed for thru-tubing and live-well operations, where wellbore access is restricted.

    • Applications
      • Thru-tubing perforating in live or producing wells
      • Re-perforation and interval enhancement
      • Wells with tubing or access limitations
      • Remedial and intervention operations
    • Operational advantage

      Their compact profile enables safe, controlled and targeted perforating in constrained well environments, minimising operational risk while restoring or improving well performance.
