The document provides a table listing selection criteria for perforating fluids for super overbalanced perforating operations based on reservoir conditions and type of liquid. It identifies heavy oil reservoirs, water sensitive sandstones, carbonate reservoirs, and low-pressure shale gas reservoirs as conditions where 2% KCl salt water or 2% KCl salt water plus alcohol would be suitable perforating fluids. For sandstones with serious water retention issues, 15-20% HCl is recommended.
