A well completion method in which the producing zone or zones are cased through, cemented, and perforated to allow fluid flow into the wellbore. A well completed by this method.

Create a hole in the casing or liner to achieve efficient communication between the reservoir and the wellbore. A specialized crew transports and operates the perforating equipment. Upon arrival to the site, the tools are assembled, then lowered into the well by a wireline unit or conveyed by tubing.
