Well perforating method and apparatus
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5911267
A method and apparatus for effecting the perforation of a well casing and the adjoining production formation comprises a tubular housing communicating between a perforating gun housing and the lower end of a tubular string. The perforating gun housing which is adapted to be carriable by the tubular string contains an impact actuated firing head and the tubular housing contains a port normally closed by sleeve valve. The valve is biased towards an open position but is selectively secured in its closed position by a frangible restraining mechanism which extends into the free fall path of a detonating bar dropped through the tubular tool string and is removed by the detonating bar to initiate the opening of the port sleeve valve prior to impacting the firing head. In a modification, the sleeve valve is shifted to its open position by fluid pressure produced in the casing annulus subsequent to the firing of the perforating gun.
