Definitions

  • tubulars When completing a subterranean well for the production of fluids, minerals, or gases from underground reservoirs, several types of tubulars are placed downhole as part of the drilling, exploration, and completions process. These tubulars can include casing, tubing, pipes, liners, and devices conveyed downhole by tubulars of various types. Each well is unique, so combinations of different tubulars may be lowered into a well for a multitude of purposes.
  • a subsurface or subterranean well transits one or more formations.
  • the formation is a body of rock or strata that contains one or more compositions.
  • the formation is treated as a continuous body.
  • hydrocarbon deposits may exist.
  • a wellbore will be drilled from a surface location, placing a hole into a formation of interest.
  • Completion equipment will be put into place, including casing, tubing, and other downhole equipment as needed.
  • Perforating the casing and the formation with a perforating gun is a well-known method in the art for accessing hydrocarbon deposits within a formation from a wellbore.
  • a shaped charge is a term of art for a device that when detonated generates a focused explosive output. This is achieved in part by the geometry of the explosive in conjunction with a liner in the explosive material.

Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à une bague de retenue de charge profilée qui sert à contenir le revêtement d'une charge profilée et la substance explosive. En général, lors de la complétion d'un puits souterrain pour la production de fluides, de minéraux ou de gaz à partir de réservoirs souterrains, plusieurs types d'éléments tubulaires sont placés en fond de trou, ce qui constitue une partie du processus de forage, de prospection et de complétion. Ces éléments tubulaires peuvent inclure le tubage, la colonne de production, des tuyaux, des revêtements et des dispositifs acheminés en fond de trou grâce à des éléments tubulaires de différents types. Chaque puits est unique, et des combinaisons de différents éléments tubulaires peuvent donc être descendues dans un puits pour une multitude d'usages.
