Abstract
A perforation gun string includes a perforation gun that forms at least part of the perforation gun string and a swellable material coupled to the perforation gun string. The swellable material is configured to be exposed to a downhole wellbore environment and to swell in response to exposure to the downhole wellbore environment. Further, the swellable material is configured to protrude beyond an outer surface of the perforation gun string when the swellable material swells.
