Proppant transport efficiency system and method

A perforating gun system comprising:

• a plurality of perforating guns comprising a gun carrier, and a plurality of perforating charges housed within the gun carrier;
• wherein the plurality of shaped charges in the gun system are arranged to form at least a first cluster and a second cluster when discharged in a stage of a well casing;
• and
• wherein when deployed downhole, at least some of the plurality of perforating charges are angled toe-ward to create a plurality of perforation tunnels to achieve a predetermined proppant transport profile in a stage.

A perforating method comprising:

• providing a perforating gun system comprising one or more perforating guns in a gun string, each gun comprising a gun carrier, a plurality of perforating charges housed within the gun carrier;
• selecting an arrangement for each perforation charge, wherein at least some of the plurality of perforating charges are angled toe-ward;
• deploying the perforating gun system into the well casing in a stage;
• and
• perforating at the stage and creating at least a first and a second cluster, wherein each cluster comprises a plurality of perforation tunnels, wherein each of the plurality of tunnels are oriented in a predetermined arrangement.
