ABSTRACT:
A method of perforating a subterranean formation penetrated by a bore hole and having a multiplicity of strata including a hydrocarbon bearing target strata, with the strata oriented with the dip of the strata running in a first direction. The method generally includes positioning a perforation gun in the well bore adjacent to the hydrocarbon bearing target strata. Next includes orienting the perforating guns so that it will perforate the target strata in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The method finally includes perforating the target strata. A method of hydraulically fracturing the above described subterranean formation would further include pumping a fluid under pressure into the so formed perforations.
