Definitions

  • a cartridge is arranged adjacent to a perforator.
  • Perforation cannons with an outer cannon tube, in the interior of which perforators are arranged, which can be ignited via an explosive cord leading through the cannon tube and, after ignition, penetrate the cannon tube at the bullet holes, means for automatically closing the bullet holes being provided and these means comprising a sliding tube, which can be displaced by at least the diameter of the bullet hole after being shot through an adjusting device, it is proposed that the sliding tube be arranged coaxially between the perforators and the gun barrel. This prevents fragments from escaping from the gun barrel into the bore with simple and safe means. In the case of horizontal bores where the outer wall rests on the casing inner wall, it is possible to move the sliding tube safely.
  • the sliding tube is fixed in its starting position by means of a securing element which breaks open after the detonating cord has been ignited and releases the displacement of the sliding tube.
  • the adjusting device can be a tensioned spring or a pyrotechnic element that can be ignited by the detonating cord.
  • the sliding tube is closed on the side into which it is to be displaced and is open on the other side, as a result of which the sliding tube is designed like a piston which can be displaced by the pressure which builds up as a result of the ignition of the perforators.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cannon tube 1 of a perforation cannon for use in the petroleum and natural gas industry for connecting a bore to the storage horizon.
  • the gun barrel 1 is closed at both ends by a connector or closure 18.
  • a sliding tube 4 In the interior of the gun barrel 1 there is a sliding tube 4 and therein a load carrier 9 to which perforators 10 are fastened.
  • these perforators are 10 shaped charges.
  • an explosive cord 11 is guided to the respective ignition points of the perforators 10.
  • the detonating cord 11 is guided through the connectors or terminations 18 into the interior of the perforation gun.
  • the inner tube or the sliding tube 4 is z. B. closed by a cap 5.
  • predetermined breaking points 3 can be introduced, so that after the perforators 10 have been ignited, the shaped charge jet 12 (see FIG. 2) which is formed can penetrate the gun barrel 1 unhindered.
  • Fig. 2 shows a section of the perforation gun immediately after ignition.
  • the detonating cord 11 has ignited the perforators 10.
  • the shaped charge jet or shaped charge jet 12 which has formed has penetrated the sliding tube 4 and the gun barrel 1.
  • the metal housings of the perforators 10 disassemble and form fragments and fragments that form part of the “debris”.
  • Figure 4 shows a section of the perforation gun after the shot.
  • the securing element 7 has been sheared off by the pressure in the sliding tube 4, as a result of which the sliding tube 4 has shifted up to the nearby connector or closure 18.
  • the remaining small parts or the debris 17 cannot leave the gun barrel 1. It is not shown that this is Inner tube 4 inflated after the shot and thus wedged with the gun barrel 1.
  • the invention thus consists of a mechanism which closes the perforation holes or bullet holes 13 in the cannon wall 2 after the shot and thus prevents the "debris" 17 from escaping.
  • Foam cartridges or, as described, a slide or rotation mechanism can serve as the locking mechanism
  • some perforators 10 are replaced by cartridges with 2-component foam, and the detonating cord 11, which ignites the perforators or charges 10, causes the cartridge to react, the foam swells and clogs the bullet holes 13.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un canon de perforation comprenant un tuyau de canon extérieur (1) à l'intérieur duquel sont disposés des perforateurs (10) qui peuvent être allumés par un cordeau détonant (11) s'étendant dans le tuyau de canon (1) et qui, une fois l'allumage effectué, percent le tuyau de canon (1) par des trous de perforation (13), des moyens étant prévus pour obturer automatiquement ces trous de perforation (13). Dans un mode de réalisation de cette invention, lesdits moyens d'obturation automatique comprennent des cartouches contenant une mousse gonflable à deux composants. En outre, ces cartouches sont disposées dans le tuyau de canon (1) et peuvent être ouvertes par le cordeau détonant (11) allumé, ce qui permet à la mousse de sortir des cartouches, de gonfler et de boucher les trous de perforation (13). Lorsque les moyens d'obturation automatique des trous de perforation (13) comprennent un tuyau coulissant (4) qui peut être déplacé, après la perforation, au moyen d'un dispositif de déplacement, d'une distance correspondant au moins au diamètre du trou de perforation (13), ledit tuyau coulissant (4) est disposé de manière coaxiale entre les perforateurs (10) et le tuyau de canon (1).
