    摘要: A perforating gun assembly that includes at least one component that is constructed from a composite material and that is impermeable to wellbore fluids. The components may include the outer carrier and/or loading tube of a perforating gun, the connecting tubing of a gun release mechanism, and the gun connector used to attach adjacent perforating guns. The composite material is designed to be very brittle under dynamic impact. The component is made impermeable to wellbore fluids by including an impermeable liner therein. The impermeable liner can be bonded to the inner or outer surface of the component or can be embedded within the component. Since it is brittle under dynamic impact, the composite component shatters into small pieces upon detonation of the perforating gun.

    摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus and method of orienting perforating gun strings conveyed on a tool string. One embodiment of the present invention provides an orienting weight provided in a portion of the perforating device, such as the shaped charge, the loading tube or the gun housing. An adapter is provided intermediate the tool string that facilitates conveyance of the gun string downhole. Additionally, the adapter enables the gun string to rotate independent of the tool string.

    摘要: A gun system in one arrangement includes a first carrier including a detonating cord and a second carrier including a detonating cord. An adapter couples the first and second carriers, with the adapter including an explosive coupled to the detonating cord of one of the first and second carriers. The explosive is positioned in a reduced housing portion of the adapter. The reduced housing portion of the adapter has a first outer diameter less than an inner diameter of the first carrier to provide a predetermined annular space between the reduced adapter portion and the inner diameter of the first carrier. At least one of the detonating cords in the first and second carriers is attached to a retainer element, and the retainer element is placed in close proximity to the explosive to maintain an axial position of the detonating cord to reduce separation between the detonating cord and the explosive. In addition, the explosive is placed some axial distance away from sensitive elements in the adapter, such as sealing elements and connector elements, to protect the sensitive elements from detonation of the explosive.

    摘要: A perforating apparatus adapted to be disposed in a wellbore includes a plurality of shaped charges, an electrical current carrying conductor, and a plurality of exploding foil or exploding bridgewire initiators disposed, respectively, between the plurality of charges and the current carrying conductor for simultaneously detonating thereby simultaneously detonating all of the plurality of shaped charges of the perforating apparatus in response to a current flowing in the conductor. Each of the shaped charges include a new secondary explosive primer disposed in the apex of the charge for detonating in response to a detonation of the exploding foil or exploding bridgewire initiator. The electrical conductor may include a flat cable having a plurality of such initiators spaced apart at predetermined intervals along the cable and adapted to wrap helically around the perforating apparatus until each of the initiators abut against a shaped charge of the plurality of charges in the perforating apparatus. In an alternate embodiment, the electrical current carrying conductor may include a flat sheet having a specific length and width and including a plurality of such initiators. The flat sheet is adapted to wrap around the entire circumference of the perforating apparatus until each of the initiators in the sheet abut against a shaped charge of the plurality of charges in the perforating apparatus. The current in the conductor may originate from a compressed magnetic flux (CMF) current pulse generator or from a charging capacitor of a conventional system including one or more charging capacitors and associated discharge switches. When the perforating apparatus includes a first and second perforator separated by an adaptor, the adaptor includes a pressure bulkhead adapted to seal the first perforator from the second perforator, an explosive disposed in contact against one side of the bulkhead and a piezoelectric ceramic disposed in contact against the other side of the bulkhead.
