The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

One more thing: same sort of situations that can defeat shaped charges in combat can also defeat them in a well. If different charges along the cylinder are different distances from the tube wall or if the tubes are not perfectly concentric, then I’d expect heterogeneities in hole sizes and penetration. Things like bends in tubing can create problems. I’d bet there are many others. Tool technology that minimizes those effects is useful and the sort of thing that would b useful to know whether it is part of their technology.
