Abstract:
1. A method of operating a perforating gun system in a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, wherein the system comprises an array of perforating guns and a sensor package adjacent the array of perforating guns, the method comprising: conveying the perforating gun system through the wellbore by wireline; placing the perforating gun system proximate a treatment zone in the wellbore; perforating the treatment zone; introducing a proppant laden fluid from a surface to the treatment zone; measuring at least one parameter in the wellbore with the sensor package while maintaining the perforating gun system in the proppant laden fluid; transmitting though the wireline the measurement of the at least one parameter to a monitoring and controlling system; adjusting at least one operational parameter of the perforating gun system in response to the transmitted measurement to achieve improved treatment efficiency and reservoir optimization, wherein the at least one operational parameter is selected from the group consisting of treatment fluid components, treatment fluid flow rate, treatment fluid pressure, treatment fluid properties, and any combination thereof; and, moving the perforating gun system.
