Faceted Expansion Relief Perforating Device
US Patent:
2005011, Jun 2, 2005
Filed:
Nov 5, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/701792
Inventors:
Sidney Mauldin - Pampa TX, US
International Classification:
F41F005/00
US Classification:
102306000, 089001150
Abstract:
The present invention is an improvement in the design of a perforating gun to perforate the casing in oil and gas wells. Perforating guns have a cylindrical body member with explosive charges at specified intervals designed to shoot outwardly through the body member, the well casing, cement sheath, and into the rock formation. Continuous faceted cuts in the vessel covering the greater part of the circumference, at the level of the charge, serve to reduce the outward distortion of the body member beyond the original diameter of the body member. Reducing the distortion serves to insure that the perforating gun can be removed from the well after the explosive charges have fired.
Minimal Resistance Scallop For A Well Perforating Device
US Patent:
2005013, Jun 30, 2005
Filed:
Dec 31, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/750108
Inventors:
Sidney Mauldin - Pampa TX, US
International Classification:
E21B043/11
US Classification:
166055000, 175004600
Abstract:
The present invention is an improvement in the design of a perforating gun to perforate the casing in oil and gas wells. Perforating guns have a cylindrical body member with explosive charges at specified intervals designed to shoot outwardly through the body member, the well casing, cement sheath, and into the rock formation. There are recessed areas, scallops, on the outer surface of the body member where the perforating jets, formed by the explosive charges, exit the body member. The present invention uses the strength of an arching geometric shape for the recessed area to be able to further reduce the thickness of steel for minimal resistance to the perforating jet. Minimizing the resistance to the perforating jet increases the depth of penetration into the rock formation and increases the hole size.
