Perforating Charge Case

View page
US Patent:
6464019, Oct 15, 2002
Filed:
Nov 8, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/708914
Inventors:
Andrew T. Werner - East Bernard TX
Brenden M. Grove - Missouri City TX
Assignee:
Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Sugar Land TX
International Classification:
E21B 43117
US Classification:
175 46, 86 47, 102307, 102476, 264 34
Abstract:
A perforating charge case is made by a process that includes cold forming a material into a shape for the perforating charge case. The cold forming produces additional recrystallization nucleation sites in the material. After the cold forming, the material may be annealed to decrease sizes of grains of the material to improve a ductility of the material to increase fragment sizes of the perforating charge case when an explosive that is placed inside the perforating charge case detonates.

Encapsulant Providing Structural Support For Explosives

View page
US Patent:
6520258, Feb 18, 2003
Filed:
Jul 21, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/621159
Inventors:
Wenbo Yang - Sugar Land TX
Brenden M. Grove - Missouri City TX
Lawrence A. Behrmann - Houston TX
Alfredo Fayard - Sugar Land TX
Daniel C. Markel - Pearland TX
Assignee:
Schlumberger Technology Corp. - Sugar Land TX
International Classification:
E21B 2902
US Classification:
166297, 166 55, 102312
Abstract:
An apparatus and method is provided to provide structural support for explosives (e. g. , shaped charges) in a tool (e. g. , a perforating gun). An encapsulant surrounds at least portions of the explosives to provide structural support for the explosives. The encapsulant contains a porous material, such as porous cement or polymer.

Components And Methods For Use With Explosives

US Patent:
6554081, Apr 29, 2003
Filed:
Jul 21, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/620980
Inventors:
James E. Brooks - Manvel TX
Wenbo Yang - Sugar Land TX
Brenden M. Grove - Missouri City TX
Ian C. Walton - Sugar Land TX
Manish Kothari - Stafford TX
Lawrence A. Behrmann - Houston TX
Alfredo Fayard - Sugar Land TX
Daniel C. Markel - Pearland TX
Wallace E. Voreck - Sparta NJ
Assignee:
Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Sugar Land TX
International Classification:
E21B 43117
US Classification:
175 454, 166 551, 166297, 102310, 102312
Abstract:
An apparatus and method is provided to reduce interference resulting from activation of explosive devices. One type of interference is charge-to-charge interference, and another type of interference is pre-shock interference between a detonating cord and an explosive, such as a shaped charge. To reduce interference, one or more shock impeding elements are placed proximal one or more explosives to impede propagation of shock caused by detonation of the explosives. The shock impeding elements include a porous material, such as a porous liquid or solid. In another arrangement, a shock barrier may be positioned between a detonating cord and an explosive to reduce pre-shock interference. In yet another feature, an encapsulant may be provided around one or more shaped charges to enhance structural support for the shaped charges.

US Patent:
6896059, May 24, 2005
Filed:
Mar 6, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/382812
Inventors:
James E. Brooks - Manvel TX, US
Wenbo Yang - Sugar Land TX, US
Brenden M. Grove - Missouri City TX, US
Ian C. Walton - Sugar Land TX, US

International Classification:
E21B043/117
US Classification:
166297, 166 551, 175 454, 102312
Abstract:
An apparatus and method is provided to reduce interference resulting from activation of explosive devices. To reduce interference, one or more shock impeding elements are placed proximal one or more explosives to impede propagation of shock caused by detonation of the explosives. The shock impeding elements include a porous material, such as a porous liquid or solid.

Method And Apparatus For Reducing Pressure In A Perforating Gun

View page
US Patent:
7121340, Oct 17, 2006
Filed:
Apr 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/709250
Inventors:
Brenden M. Grove - Missouri City TX, US
Lawrence A. Behrmann - Houston TX, US
Ian C. Walton - Sugar Land TX, US
Philip Kneisl - Pearland TX, US
Andrew T. Werner - East Bernard TX, US
Assignee:
Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Sugar Land TX
International Classification:
E21B 43/116
E21B 43/119
US Classification:
166297, 166 55, 166 63, 175 2, 102704
Abstract:
An apparatus for reducing the post-detonation pressure of a perforating gun, the apparatus including a perforating gun carrying at least one explosive charge, wherein when the explosive charge is detonated the explosive charge produces a pressurized detonation gas, and a mechanism for reducing the pressure of the detonation gas proximate the perforating gun. The detonation gas pressure is desirably reduced in a time frame sufficient to create a dynamic underbalance condition to facilitate a surge flow of fluid from a reservoir into a wellbore. The pressure reduction mechanism may include singularly or in combination a heat sink to reduce the temperature of the detonation gas, a reactant to recombine with the reactant gas and reduce the molar density of the detonation gas, and a physical compression mechanism to utilize the waste energy of the detonation gas to create work, simultaneously reducing the temperature of the gas and the molar density of the detonation gas.

Well Treatment System And Method

View page
US Patent:
7287589, Oct 30, 2007
Filed:
Oct 5, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/711785
Inventors:
Brenden M. Grove - Missouri City TX, US
Mark C. Duhon - Sugar Land TX, US
Lawrence A. Behrmann - Houston TX, US
Claude D. Jones - Sugar Land TX, US
Assignee:
Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Sugar Land TX
International Classification:
E21B 43/25
US Classification:
166297, 166 551, 166162, 166311, 175 454
Abstract:
A well treatment system of the present invention includes a housing forming a sealed surge chamber, and a surge charge disposed within the sealed surge chamber, wherein the surge charge is adapted upon activation to penetrate the housing and to not penetrate material exterior of the housing. Fluid communication is created between the surge chamber and the wellbore when the housing is penetrated by the surge charge. The penetration permits wellbore fluid to flow quickly into the surge chamber. Fluid flow into the surge chamber may enhance a surge of flow from the formation into the wellbore.

Perforating Gun

US Patent:
7409992, Aug 12, 2008
Filed:
Jan 11, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/306785
Inventors:
Alexander F. Zazovsky - Houston TX, US
Vadim Akhmadikin - Pearland TX, US
Wenbo Yang - Sugar Land TX, US
Brenden M. Grove - Missouri City TX, US
Assignee:
Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Sugar Land TX
International Classification:
E21B 43/11
US Classification:
166297, 166298, 166 55
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus for use in perforating a well having a plurality of explosive charges. Each explosive charge is adapted to generate a perforation tunnel in the formation adjacent to the well. In one embodiment, explosive charges are oriented to create perforation tunnels that converge at a location within the formation in order to create a fracture initiation plane capable of mitigating or avoiding hydraulic fracturing complications.
