    Gun Systems: Classification by Size & Assembly Advantages & Disadvantages

    Uploaded by

    Mefriadi Mefri
    This document classifies and describes various gun systems used in oil and gas wells. It divides guns into two main categories: by size (through-tubing guns, tubing punchers, casing guns) and by assembly (carrier guns, exposed guns). Carrier guns like HSD guns, tubing punchers, and scallop guns encase the explosive charge, while exposed guns like Enerjet and pivot guns leave the charge exposed. Each gun type has advantages and disadvantages for factors like shot density, debris production, and operating temperature limits. The document provides details on specific gun models to explain their assembly and performance characteristics.
