Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for controlling the debris generated by shaped charges during perforating. The controlled debris perforating system comprises a pre-fragmented shaped charge having a charge case and an explosive material.
Description
- The subject matter of the present invention relates to a pre-fragmented shaped charge for use in perforating operations. More specifically, the subject matter of the present invention relates to controlling the debris generated by the shaped charges during perforating.
- In drilling operations, the drilled hole is often lined with a casing to prevent the earth from filling the hole. In order for the surrounding fluid to enter the drilled hole, the well casing must be perforated. Such operation is typically performed by a perforating gun loaded with one or more shaped charges.
- Conventional shaped charges produce significant debris upon detonation. If small enough, the generated debris can exit the gun carrier and enter the well fluid and become entrained in the well fluid. The exit of the debris can occur both during detonation and during the retrieval process of the carrier to the surface. As the debris is carried by the well fluid, it can complicate down stream processing of the well fluids by clogging filters and jamming pumps, for example.
- There exists, therefore, a need for controlling the size of debris generated during perforating operations.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a typical shaped charge, loading tube, and hollow carrier.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a typical shaped charge and loading tube.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a loading tube being inserted into a hollow carrier.

Typical shaped charges for use in perforating guns are discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,724,767 to Astatine issued Feb. 16, 1988; U.S. Pat. No. 5,413,048 to Warner et al. issued May 9, 1995; U.S. Pat. No. 4,669,384 to Chawla et al. issued Jun. 2, 1987; and again in U.S. Pat. No. 5,597,974 to Voreck, Jr. et al. issued Jan. 28, 1997. Each of the above mentioned disclosures are incorporated by reference into this specification.
- A typical
shaped charge 1 includes acase 10, a main body ofexplosive material 12, which in the past has been, for example, RDX, HMX, PYX, or HNS packed against the inner wall of thecase 10, aprimer 13 disposed adjacent the main body of explosive 12 that is adapted to detonate the main body of explosive 12 when theprimer 13 is detonated, and aliner 14 lining theprimer 13 and the main body ofexplosive material 12. Theliner 14 acts to maintain the shape of the explosive to assure proper propagation of the detonation. A detonatingcord 20 contacts thecase 10 of theshaped charge 1 at a point nearest the apex of theliner 14 of the charge. When a detonation wave propagates within the detonatingcord 20, the detonation wave will detonate theprimer 13. When theprimer 13 is detonated, the detonation of theprimer 13 will further detonate the main body of explosive 12 of thecharge 1. In response to the detonation of the main body of explosive 12, theliner 14 will form a jet that will propagate along a longitudinal axis of theshaped charge 1. The jet will perforate a formation penetrated by the wellbore. - One or more
shaped charges 1 are housed within aloading tube 22 for transport. Theloading tube 22 can house theshaped charges 1 at desired orientations, or in a linear fashion. Ajacket 24 is used to both secure theshaped charges 1 to theloading tube 22 and to maintain the orientation of theshaped charges 1. Once theloading tube 22 is ready for delivery downhole, ahollow carrier 30 is used to carry theloading tube 22 and housed shapedcharges 1. - In one conventional use shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the
shaped charges 1 andjackets 24 are inserted into theloading tube 22 until thejackets 24 shoulder against theloading tube shoulders 23. Once all of theshaped charges 1 are secured, theloading tube 22 is inserted into the interior of thehollow carrier 30. Thehollow carrier 30 then transports theshaped charges 1 downhole to the desired depth of perforation. - It should be noted that the above description of the convention shaped
charges 1 is intended for illustration only and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The present invention is equally applicable for use in alternate shaped charges and carriers. For example, the present invention can be used with equal applicability with jacket-less shaped charges. - FIG. 4 illustrates one embodiment of the pre-fragmented shaped charge, indicated generally as40, of the present invention. Slots, or grooves, 42 are cut into the
charge case 44 to weaken thecase 44 according to a certain pattern or design. Upon detonation of the pre-fragmented shaped charge 40, the case material is subject to explosion forces and will undergo stretching in its hoop direction. Because theslots 42 are cut in the axial direction orthogonal to the hoop stretching, theslots 42 define weakening lines along the stretching direction. As a result, thecharge case 44 will fracture along these lines of weakness. In this manner, the pre-fragmented shaped charge 40 can be used to control the size and shape of the debris generated by thecharge case 44 during perforating operations. Theslots 42 in the pre-fragmented shaped charge 40 can also be used to channel the explosion energy in certain directions. Such channeling of explosive energy improves the survivability of thegun carrier 30. - As shown in FIGS.5-7, the pre-fragmented shaped charge 40 can be designed with any number of
slots 42. As examples, FIG. 5 displays acharge case 44 having 6slots 42, FIG. 6 displays acharge case 44 having 2slots 42, and FIG. 7 displays acharge case 44 having 4slots 42. It should be understood that any number ofslots 42 can be cut into thecharge case 44 depending upon the application. Because the distance between theslots 42 controls the size of the generated debris, for applications in which it is desired to make the debris larger than the exit hole in the hollow carrier 30 (shown in FIG. 3), the pre-fragmented shaped charge 40 may havefewer slots 42. Conversely, when it is desired to make the debris very small, such as when the shaped charge 40 is used for spiral or strip guns, thecharge case 44 may havemany slots 42. - In addition to variances in the number of
slots 42, theslots 42 cut into thecharge case 44 can be of multiple shapes and sizes. FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate twoexample slot 42 designs. In FIG. 8, theslot 42 cut into the wall of thecase 44 is a V-notch groove, while in FIG. 9, theslot 42 cut into the wall of thecase 44 is a U-notch groove. The shape and depth of theslot 42 controls the timing of the breakup of thecharge case 44. - Another embodiment of the pre-fragmented shaped charge40 is illustrated in FIG. 10. In this embodiment, the
slots 42 are cut on the internal surface of the charge case 40. - Yet another embodiment of the pre-fragmented shaped charge40 is illustrated in FIG. 11. In this embodiment, the
slots 42 are oriented circumferentially around the charge case 40. Thecircumferential slots 42 can be internal or external. - The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such are intended to be included within the scope of the following non-limiting claims.
