prroe/vvs United States Patent 2,889,775 OPEN HOLE PERFORATOR FIRING NIEANS Application February 21, 1955, Serial No. 489,429 2 Claims. (Cl. 102-20) This invention relates to well perforating assemblies and particularly to firing means therefor. I
In completing wells drilled by the rotary method it has long been the practice to perforate casing set in the well adjacent the producing formation for the purpose of providing ingress to the well from said formation. Similarly in wells drilled by said rotary method but in which casingi has not been set, it is frequently customary to perforate the formations by firing thereinto for the purpose of ini-- tiating or increasing fluid production.
The older method of aforesaid was to lower into the well gun bodies consisting of more or less solid blocks of steel provided with barrels having explosive and bullets therein and fire the bullets. More recently, as witness United States Letters Patent No. 2,494,256 to M=uskat et al., dated January 10,{ 1950 and entitled Apparatus for Perforating Well Casings and Well Walls a method has been developed for perforating in wells through the use of shaped charges, such method being adaptable to either perforating through; casing or perforating directly into the open formation. The shaped charge apparatus is fired generally by the' use of a detonating fuse which fuse is fired electrically by a detonator assembly and in turn initiates the explosion 1 of the shaped charges substantially simultaneously, said detonating fuse passing from detonator assembly throughout the shaped charge apparatus in juxtaposition to eachf charge.
Heretofore, difiiculty has been occasioned by the fact that occasionally, explosion of the detonator charge in the firing head of such apparatus fails to detonate the detonating fuse. This of course results in failure of the shaped charges to fire, and they must be withdrawn from the well. Worse, since the shaped charges are supported by a carrier means, which in turn is connected to the firing head, such abortive detonator charge explosion frequently severs the connection, causing loss of :unfired shaped charges in the well. This is particularly true in apparatus for perforating uncased Wells.
It is the general purpose of the instant invention to properforataing through casing vide an improved means for firing shaped charges within a perforating assembly in conjunction with a detonating fuse. A more specific object is to provide such firing means of such a nature as to minimize the danger of misfiring or loss of unfired changes in the well. I A further object is to provide improved sealing means 1 for shaped charge firing means. And yet another object is to provide means whereby detonator charge and detonating fuse or booster are prevented from separating prior to firing.
These and other objects and features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from a consideration of the following specifications taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
Figs. 1a and lb show a broken front elevational view of a perforating assembly incorporating the instant invention, partly in longitudinal section, and
Fig. 2 shows an enlarged longitudinal section of the porting member '50. As indicated in In its general aspect the invention comprises a carrier 10 supporting shaped charges 12 fired by a detonating fuse 14, the carrier being connected to a firing head 16 in which is provided a booster 18 abutting the detonating fuse 14 and a detonator charge 20 held closely adjacent the booster. The booster and detonator charges are held in place within a closed, sealed chamber, and a barrier member 21 is interposed between said chamber and the carrier-firing head connection, thus isolating the detonator from the carrier. This general combination results in more positive detonating fuse firing and improved sealing, and in the event of misfire, unexploded shaped charges are not dropped into the well.
Referring now more specifically to the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, it will be seen that a shaped charge assembly is suspended in the usual manner by a cable 22 aflixed to a rope socket assembly 24. The rope socket assembly 24 is threaded to a contact sub 26, the sub and socket assembly being provided with the usual means including an insulated passageway 28 to permit the conductor 30 which passes through the cable 22 from the surface to extend into the recess 32 in the contact sub 26. The collar 34, a part of the firing head 16, is carried by the shoulder 36 of the sub 26 and in turn threadedly receives the threaded end 38 of the barrier member 21, said barrier member being provided with the collar locators 40.
It will be seen, therefore, that a firing chamber 42 is defined within the firing head 16 by the contact sub 26 and the barrier member 21, the upper portion of said firing chamber including recess 32 in the contact sub 26 and the lower part of the chamber being defined by the threaded end 38 of the barrier member 21.
Shaped charges 12 are retained within the ringed supporting members 50 and are secured with respect thereto by set screws 56. It is seen that the detonating fuse 14 passes from the passageway 44 over the rearward end of each shaped charge 12, being held in juxtaposition with respect to said rearward ends by straps 58 which are themselves secured to the shaped charges 12 by screws 60; A lower seal 62 is provided for the detonating fuse which is secured as by wire 64 to the lowermost sup- Fig. lb varying n'umbersofshaped charges may be accommodated to the structure by merely varying the number of supporting V 0 members ,50.
, Referring now to the means within the firing chamber": 42, Fig. '2 shows that within the recess 32 are provided packing rings 66 and 68 and a flanged pin 70. Connected to this pin is the conductor 30. Threaded into the counterbore 72 of the contact sub 26 is a detonator holder 74 which detonator holder is provided with a bore 76 receiving an insulating bushing 78 abutting a necked portion 80 of said bore. Received within the bushing is the detonator charge 20 which detonator charge extends into the counterbored recess 82 in the end of the detonator holder 74 and which contacts a comdetonating fuse 14 into the chamber 42, so that such detonating fuse and the exbe described hereinafter.
At the lowermost portion of the firing chamber 42 is provided a sealing member 86 threaded by an extension 87 into the counterbore .88 of the threaded end 38 of the barrier member 21. Said sealing member is bored to provide for the detonating fuse 14 a substantial continuation of the passageway 44 and connected to said detonating fuse is the booster 18, said booster comprising a thin frangible casing 90 such as aluminum, crimped over the explosive of the detonating fuse 14 and including explosive of higher sensitivity and relatively less density in intimate contact with the detonating fuse explosive. The detonating fuse is provided with a rubber insulating sleeve 92 which overlaps the casing 90 of the booster.
To provide a seal for the firing chamber 42 between booster casing and sealing member '86, a series of resilient gaskets 94 are provided, retained in place by a sealing ring 96. Sealing compression is afforded for said gaskets in addition to support for the booster 18 by a fluid seal gland 98 threaded into the counterbore portion of the sealing member 86. An opening is provided in the cap 100 of the fluid sealing gland 98 to expose the booster 18 to the eflect of the blast of the detonator charge 20. It will be seen that an ring 102 is provided as a seal between the sealing member 86 and the contact sub 26 to complete the seal for the firing chamber 42. By the aforesaid apparatus therefor, positive firing through insuring intimate contact between detonator charge and booster or detonating fuse is afforded as is a safe fluid seal. And loss of unfired charges in the well through misfiring is prevented, the barrier member 21 interposing between connector 23 and firing chamber 42.
In addition to the seal furnished by the 0 ring 102, access to the interior of the chamber 42 is denied to well fluid by virtue of the gaskets 94, and indeed fluid pressure merely improves the seal at this point. The fluid seal gland 98 in compressing the aforesaid gaskets guarantees the seal against well fluids even in the absence of substantial well fluid pressure and through its cap 100 prevents a forcing of the booster 18 from its proper position. In complementary fashion the compression spring 84 at all times urges the detonator charge 20 towards intimate firing contact in relation to the booster in addition to providing an electrical conduit between said detonator charge and said booster.
Various modifications and changes from the aforedescribed preferred embodiment of the present invention may occur to those skilled in the art without departure from the essence of the invention, and it is intended to cover herein all such modifications and changes as come within the true scope and spirit of the appended claims.
