    摘要: A self-orienting swivel of a downhole tool and method. The swivel includes a top sub, a bottom sub, and a bearing assembly. The bearing assembly includes a bearing housing, bearings, and a lock member. The bearing housing has an uphole end operatively connectable to a second end of the top sub and a passage therethrough shaped to receive a bearing end of the bottom sub. The bearings are rotatably positioned in the passage of the bearing housing between the bottom sub and an inner surface of the bearing housing. The lock member is positioned in the passage of the bearing housing, and is fixedly connectable about the bottom sub. The lock member is receivably positionable in a receptacle of the top sub and rotatably movable therein whereby the bottom sub is rotatably positioned about the top sub.

    摘要: A charge assembly includes a charge tube, shaped charges, and propellant charges. The charge tube is positionable in a downhole perforating tool. The shaped charges and the propellant charges are receivably supported in the charge tube. Each of the shaped charges includes a charge jacket and a charge material. The charge material has a detonation rate of greater than one microsecond. Each of the propellant charges includes a propellant jacket and a propellant material. The propellant charges have a detonation rate of less than one microsecond. An uphole portion of the propellant charges are positioned uphole from the shaped charges and a downhole portion of the propellant charges are positioned downhole from the shaped charges. The shaped charges are positioned between the uphole and the downhole portion. The shaped and the propellant charges are electrically connectable to a detonator for activation thereby.
