Abstract
A well system includes a perforating gun having shaped charges and a detonator to controllably detonate the shaped charges. The well system further includes a propulsion head coupled to the perforating gun. The propulsion head is operable to apply thrust to the perforating gun such that the well system is self-propelling.
