Effective shot density

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001253

The number of perforations per foot that are open and contributing to fluid flow from the reservoir into the wellbore. This value accounts for perforations that may be plugged by debris or damaged during the perforating process. It is a more realistic measure of wellbore connectivity than the total number of shots fired.
