In today’s energy landscape, well completions are not just technical tasks—they’re strategic milestones. Whether you’re operating in high-pressure shale plays or navigating complex horizontal wells, the tools you use downhole can make or break your results. That’s why G&H Div is proud to lead the way with next-gen perf gun systems like the innovative Neon perforating gun and the high-impact Halo perforating gun, delivering unmatched precision, efficiency, and adaptability for operators who refuse to compromise.

In this post, we’ll walk you through what makes these perforating guns stand out, how they fit into your well strategy, and why G&H Div is the go-to name for smart completion solutions.

What Is a Perf Gun and Why Does It Matter?

Before we dive into advanced tools, let’s ground ourselves in the basics. A perf gun—short for perforating gun—is a downhole tool used to create holes in the casing and cement of an oil or gas well. These perforations connect the wellbore to the reservoir, enabling hydrocarbons to flow into the well and up to the surface.

Perf guns play a critical role in:

• Creating access points to the reservoir
• Ensuring uniform stimulation across zones
• Facilitating plug-and-perf hydraulic fracturing
• Supporting re-completions and intervention work

Precision and timing are everything. Poor perforations can lead to uneven stimulation, reduced recovery, and unnecessary interventions. G&H Div’s perf guns are engineered to eliminate those risks—with smart features that drive repeatable performance.

Meet the Neon Perforating Gun: Compact, Fast, and Reliable

When speed and footprint matter, the Neon Perforating Gun offers a compact solution designed for shallow and mid-range completions. Ideal for tight operations or wells requiring agile toolstrings, Neon delivers clean perforations with fewer components—saving time and streamlining deployment.

Features of the Neon perforating gun:

• 🔩 Slimline design for easier deployment in narrow wellbores
• 🚀 Rapid assembly for fast rig-up and reduced downtime
• 💣 High shot density options for maximum reservoir contact
• 🎯 Reliable initiation system with consistent detonation patterns
• 🧼 Minimal debris output for cleaner flowback and production startup

Best suited for:

• Shallow to intermediate-depth wells
• Slim-hole completions and tight formations
• Rapid plug-and-perf operations
• Low-impact perforation needs with repeatable outcomes

With Neon, operators get fast, clean, and efficient perforating—without the bulk.

Step Up With the Halo Perforating Gun: Built for Deep Impact

When your completion demands greater firepower and versatility, the Halo Perforating Gun steps up. Designed for deep wells, high-pressure conditions, and multi-stage stimulation, Halo combines robust engineering with flexible configurations.

Why Halo stands out:

• 🧠 Modular tool design for customized configurations
• 🔥 High-pressure and high-temperature resilience
• ⚙️ Precision shot alignment to maximize zone stimulation
• 📏 Longer tool lengths for deeper reach and extended perforating runs
• 🛠️ Seamless compatibility with standard downhole equipment

Perfect for:

• Deep horizontal wells and complex shale formations
• Multi-zone perforation strategies
• Wells with challenging temperature or pressure conditions
• Extended run times and high-efficiency frac campaigns

Halo puts control in your hands and performance in your well—with power to handle the toughest challenges.

Neon vs. Halo: Which Perf Gun Is Right for You?

Let’s compare the Neon and Halo perforating guns side by side to help you match the right solution to your well conditions:

Both guns offer reliability and precision—the difference is in the complexity and demands of your completion project.

Real Results From the Field

Here’s a snapshot of what operators have achieved using G&H Div’s perforating tools:

• In the Delaware Basin, a completion team used the Halo perforating gun in a 45-stage lateral and reported 98% shot success with reduced formation damage—saving two full days in operational time.
• A West Texas operator completed five wells using the Neon perforating gun on tight curves and laterals, noting faster rig-up times and cleaner flowbacks due to low debris and precision alignment.

Both tools delivered measurable success in tough environments—and helped maximize stimulation across each stage.
