One-Trip Conveying Method For Packer/Plug And Perforating Gun
US Patent:
6142231, Nov 7, 2000
Filed:
Dec 2, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/758655
Inventors:
William D. Myers - Houston TX
Kare-Jonny Haugvalstad - Godalstunet, NO

Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 4317
US Classification:
166297
Abstract:
A one-trip system for placement and setting a downhole packer or plug is disclosed. The packer is settable in a variety of ways, including hydraulically, acoustically by pressure pulse signals, or some combination. Use of hydraulic pressure triggers a pressure-creating reaction to initiate the setting of the packer. The setting mechanism for the packer breaks clear of the packer upon setting and allows the tubing-conveyed perforating gun, which is already preassembled as part of the string, to be accurately positioned and fired.

Downhole Tool Connection For Live Well Deployment
US Patent:
6155344, Dec 5, 2000
Filed:
Sep 8, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/149420
Inventors:
William Desmond Myers - Houston TX
Robert R. Green - Houston TX
Robert R. Green - Houston TX
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
F21B 17046
US Classification:
166 551
Abstract:
A connector is presented for tubing conveyed perforating guns which facilitates connection or disconnection between guns without the need for rotation. A latching mechanism is disclosed which latches by setting down weight and unlatches by an actuating ram camming the latch out of a window. The connectors are configured so that they are sealed internally and have an external profile for interengagement with a seal ram for support and sealing around the outer periphery.
Accordingly, a live well can be isolated using a seal ram around a fired gun because the internal passages through the gun are sealed off by virtue of seals around a hammer piston. The connectors are configured so that an upper gun creates the pressure required to set off the gun below. The connectors are also configured such that when a lower gun is supported by a seal ram, an emergency shear zone is presented opposite a shear ram to ensure that if an emergency well shutdown is required that the shear ram does not have to cut through a section of the gun which contains explosives.

Assignee:
BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 43/11
US Classification:
166297
Abstract:
A perforating gun connector comprising a first and second section connected together on one end. The two sections of the perforating gun connector that couple together are correspondingly tapered so that one end of one connector is tapered and fits into the corresponding tapered hollowed section of one end of the other section. The present invention also provides for the inclusion of shaped charges and booster charges within. Adjacent the charges are sealing bulkheads.
Apparatus And Method For Perforating Wellbores
US Patent:
5680905, Oct 28, 1997
Filed:
Jan 4, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/368693
Inventors:
Robert R. Green - Houston TX

William D. Myers - Houston TX
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 4311
US Classification:
175 454
Abstract:
An apparatus for actuating a firing head is disclosed. The apparatus contains a firing head that is operatively connected to a detonating cord of a perforating gun containing a series of shaped charges. The perforating gun will be connected to a work string in a wellbore filled with a fluid. The apparatus generally comprises a housing member having an inner portion and an outer portion; a blocking member for blocking passage of a hydrostatic pressure; a mechanical activation piston, adapted to be received within the housing member, for mechanically opening the blocking member. The apparatus further contains a hydraulic activation piston, adapted to be received within the housing member, for activating a percussion initiator firing member; and a transfer charge booster that transfers the detonation to a detonation cord.
Well Perforating Gun
US Patent:
5067568, Nov 26, 1991
Filed:
Apr 25, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/514168
Inventors:
Donald N. Yates - Cape Carancahua TX
William D. Myers - Houston TX
William D. Myers - Houston TX
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 43117
US Classification:
175 452
Abstract:
A well perforating gun provides a full bore passage for fluids and tools through the discharged gun without increasing the normal exterior diameter of the gun. The full bore passage is disposed eccentrically within a tubular housing and the perforating guns are mounted in a longitudinally spaced array on one or more elongated strips disposed adjacent elongated slots in the wall of the housing opposite the eccentric portion of the full bore fluid passage.
