Retrievable gun

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003143

A type of perforating gun assembly designed to be recovered from the wellbore after it has fired its shaped charges. The entire gun system, including the charge carrier and firing head, is pulled back to the surface, leaving no debris in the well. This design is common in tubing-conveyed perforating operations where a clean wellbore is required for subsequent operations or for installing completion equipment.
