Abstract
In general, in one aspect, embodiments relate to a method, that includes lowering a tool string down into a wellbore extending into a subterranean formation, where the tool string includes perforating charges, and one or more acoustic emitters, energizing the one or more acoustic emitters to form at least an acoustic signal while the tool string is being drawn up-hole, detecting the acoustic signal with a sensing cable disposed within the wellbore, determining an angular orientation of the tool string relative to the sensing cable based at least in part on the acoustic signal, and detonating at least one of the perforating charges when its firing direction is not directed at the one or more sensing cables.
