Shot detection

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003383

The process of confirming that a perforating charge or gun has successfully detonated downhole. This is typically achieved by monitoring acoustic signals, pressure pulses, or electrical changes at the surface. Positive shot detection provides assurance that the intended perforations have been created in the casing.
