@ A shaped charge carrier assembly is provided for use in a perforating gun (10) of the type used to perforate oil or gas wells. The assembly includes at least one shaped charge (38) including an outer case having an outer surface and a first shoulder extending radially outward from the outer surface. The assembly also includes a carrier (34) having openings (36) therethrough large enough to receive the outer surface of the case, and having a resilient tab extending into the opening for frictionally engaging at least a first portion of the outer surface of the case, and for thereby holding the shaped charge in place relative to the carrier with the shoulder of the shaped charge abutting the carrier.

Perforation of a well where sand (28) has accumulated in a slotted liner (8) is effected by using a perforating gun (12) through which fluid can be passed (arrows) to flush away the sand. A perforating gun (12) for use in the method has longitudinal fluid flow channels (52) to enable fluid to flow therethrough without contacting the explosive charges therein.

Liquid explosives comprising nitric acid and, as a fuel, one or more of nitromethane, nitroethane, nitropropane, nitrobenzene, nitrotoluene, dinitrobenzene and dinitrotoluene, are stabilised by the inclusion therein of at least 0.1% by weight of ammonium ions. The ammonium ions preferably are added in the form of an ammonium salt, which constitutes less than 35 weight percent of the explosive composition. An explosive composition which has been stabilised by the addition of ammonium ions can be de-stabilised by the addition of more nitric acid and/or fuel.

A tubing conveyed well perforating system, used for the completion of formations for both testing and production, comprises tubing means (14) extending from the surface of the earth down a well bore to a location therein; perforating gun means (30) connected to one end of the tubing means, the perforating gun means including: body means (50); detonating cord means (94) extending from the top of the body means through a portion thereof; connector plug means (68) secured to the top of the body means having one end of the detonating cord means secured therein; hollow elongated cylindrical member means (84) secured to the connector plug means; explosive means (86) retained within the hollow elongated cylindrical member means; tubing connector member means (62) having one end connected to the body means and the other end connected to the tubing means; and weight actuated primary detonating means (100) adapted to move through the tubing means, contact the perforating gun means, and cause the detonation of the explosive means retained within the hollow elongated cylindrical member means and the detonating cord means of the perforating gun means.

@ A mooring release apparatus for incorporation in, for example, an anchor chain for quickly releasing the mooring of a vessel or offshore platform, comprises a housing (22) with a clevis (24) at one end and a shackle at the other, the housing including one or more pyrotechnic cutting torches (40, 42) arranged to cut through the shackle to release the mooring. In one embodiment, a common anchor chain link (34) is inserted between the walls of the shackle and a shackle pin (32) is inserted to secure the link to the housing. The cutting torches are disposed in the same plane as the link, and the torch nozzles (170, 170') oriented so as to sever the link on both sides of the pin when the torches are ignited, in order to release the chain therefrom.

摘要:
A perforating gun in which each shaped charge (40) carried in a charge holder (12) is oriented so that the jet emanating therefrom substantially intersects the axis of the gun. The charges may be vertically spaced by a distance less than their diameter but sufficient for each charge jet to pass unobstructed by other jets emanating from the charges immediately above and below, because they are equipped with gun barrels (46). In one arrangement the charges are in three parallel rows at 120°C spacing, the barrels are stacked intersecting the centre line and the explosive containing part of the charge having a substantially greater diameter, are offset from the centre line.
