1. n. [Perforating, Well Completions]

A section of heavy walled tubing that is placed across any perforated interval through which the production tubing must pass, such as may be required in multiple zone completions. In addition to being heavier than normal completion components, the wall of a blast joint is often treated to resist the jetting action that may result in the proximity of the perforations.
