<nobr>ORION Perforating</nobr> systems

A main area of VGS activity is manufacturing the perforating equipment.

VGS produces a wide range of perforating equipment from 50 mm to 114 mm, tools and accessories for assembly and service:

Modern ORION perforating systems:
- wire line perforating systems;
- TCP perforating systems;
- soft string perforating systems;
- swiveling perforating systems;
- modular perforating systems.
Wide range of Perforating charges.

We provide with full package of services during perforation jobs and equipment testing on the Customer`s wells.
