Feb. 26, 1963 w. B. BLAIR STRIP GUN IMPROVEMENTS Filed Nov. 8, 1960 W/flfon 5' B/a/r JNVENTOR. W
ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,078,797 STRIP GUN IMPROVEMENTS Winton B. Blair, Houston, Tex., assignor to Schluniberger Well Surveying Corporation, Houston, Tex., a corporation of Texas Filed Nov. 8, 1960, Ser. No. 67,965 5 Claims. (Cl. 102-20) This invention relates to shaped charge apparatus for use in completing oil wells and, more particularly, to so-called strip guns wherein shaped explosive charges in capsule-like containers are affixed to elongated metal strips.
Strip guns are commonly used for completing oil wells where it is necessary for the gun to pass through a small diameter tubing. One of the prime advantages of the strip gun is a reduction in the amount of debris left in the well bore. A strip gun construction normally includes an elongated fiat strip of metal having apertures along its length for receiving individual containers which respectively enclose shaped explosive charges. The construction and material of the strip is strong enough to resist the detonation forces of the shaped explosive charges so that the strip is retrievable. Hence, the debris left in the Well bore results from the break-up of the containers and whatever means provided to secure the containers to the strip. The characteristics of the debris, i.e., aggregate size, metallurgy, etc., as well as the amount of debris, assume an importance since the debris remains in the well bore.
To decrease aggregate size and improve the metallurgy characteristics of debris left in a well bore, containers constructed of glass have been successfully developed. However, glass containers for strip guns have been a problem, since it is difficult to secure the glass container to the strip without increasing the amount of undesirable debris.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide new and improved means for securing glass charges in strip guns without an increase in undesirable debris.
Apparatus according to the present invention includes an elongated strip member with apertures therein for receipt of shaped charge containers. The shaped charge containers are provided with attaching means in the form of abutment portions on the periphery of the container adapted to engage opposite sides of the strip member. The spacing between the abutment portions is greater than the thickness of the strip member. The container is secured in position in the strip member by an annular, non-metallic, resilient member sized to circumscribe the container and wedge snugly between abutment portions to one side of the strip member and the strip member, bringing the remaining abutment portions on the opposing side of the strip member into contact with the strip memher. The resilient member thereby provides frictional forces securing the container against rotational movement relative to the strip member.
The novel features of the present invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of oper ation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by way of illustration and example of certain embodiments when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a partial view in cross section of a strip member, shaped charge containers and securing means of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a partial frontal view of a strip member and shaped charge containers disposed therein.
In FIGS. 1 and 2. an elongated strip or strip member has a number of apertures 11 disposed along its length. Disposed in the apertures 11 are shaped charge containers 3,078,797 Patented Feb. 26, 1963 12 which respectively contain conventionally arranged shaped explosive charges (not shown). The strip member 10 is flat, i.e., it has a rectangular cross section wherein its thickness is considerably less than its width. The strip member may be constructed, for example, of steel to withstand the explosive forces and thereby be retrievable. The containers 12 are generally egg-shaped with a corresponding forward end having a generally greater cross section than an aperture 11 and a rearward end having a generally lesser cross section. The containers may be constructed of glass. The size and disposition of the containers 12, as Well as the width of the strip 10, are such that the entire assembly may be passed through a tubing or pipe section having a relatively small diameter.
The apertures 11 in the strip 10 are cylindrical and sized to receive a generally cylindrical section 13 of a container 12. Each aperture in the strip 10 is provided with a pair of generally rectangular slots 14 and 15 (FIG. 2) disposed diametrically from one another on an axis 16 which is perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 17 of the strip.
The cylindrical section 13 of each container is generally disposed intermediate of its length and has abutment portions 19, 20 and a shoulder abutment 22 on either side thereof. The abutment portions 19 and 20 are disposed to the rearward side of a container and consist of a pair of diametrically opposed lugs which are sized to pass through the respective rectangular slots 14 and 15 in the strip when the rearward end of a container is inserted into an aperture. Hence, the cylindrical section 13 of a container 12 may be disposed in the cylindrical aperture 11.
The shoulder abutment 22 disposed to the forward end of the container is an annular shoulder and, thus, the lugs 19 and 20 on a container 12 are passed through a pair of slots 14 and 15 in the strip, the shoulder abutment 22 abuts one side of the strip when the cylindrical section 13 is in an aperture. When the container is in this position, it can be rotated so that the lugs 19 and 26 and shoulder 22 thereby attach the container 12 to the strip because they cannot pass through aperture 11. Since the spacing between the abutment portions (or the width of the cylindrical section) is greater than the width of the strip 10-, i: will be appreciated that the container 12. is easily rotated to a position where the lugs 19 and 20 will pass through slots 14 and 15.
To fix the container relative to the strip member 10, an annular. resilient ring 24 is disposed between the annular shoulder 22 on the container and the strip member. The ring 24 is made roughly equal in diameter to the diameter of the cylindrical aperture 11. The ring is thus stretched to pass over the enlarged cross section of the forward end of the container and thereafter wedges between the shoulder 22 and one side of the strip to snugly hold the lugs 19 and 20 to the other side of the strip. At the same time, the ring 24 serves to frictionally hold or secure the container 12 against movement relative to the strip member.
The ring is preferably constructed of oil and heat resistant material such as neoprene, sold as composition #334 by F. H. Maloney Co. of Houston, Texas. Hence, the composition of the ring does adversely contribute to the undesirable debris in the well.
A detonating cord 25 for detonating the shaped charges is secured in the respective rearward ends of the shaped charge containers 12. For strip guns where the direction of firing is alternated, additional slots 26, 27 along the central axis 17 of the strip may be provided to pass the detonating cord along the length of the strip.
While a particular embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it is apparent that changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects and, therefore, the
"ice
aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.
