Achieving strong performance with charges optimized for fracturing

The JRC portfolio of frac optimized shaped charges delivers superior consistent holes by providing reduced variance from shot to shot, regardless of fluid clearance and decentralization. Fracture initiation is dominated in the near-wellbore region by localized stress fields. Achieving consistent holes on both the upper and lower sides of the well ensures that the initial reservoir breakdown has the greatest chance of creating the most efficient, evenly distributed fractures.
