摘要

One embodiment of the present invention discloses a system and method for orienting perforating guns inside of slanted or deviated wellbores. The invention involves adding a weight inside of the guns to gravitate the gun to a specified orientation. The weight is situated on the outer circumference of the gun tube and within the inner diameter of the gun body. The invention is capable of orienting the gun in any radial position without affecting the shot performance of any of the shaped charges.
