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.

Mar 1, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/797209
Inventors:
Ashley B. Johnson - Sugar Land TX
James E. Brooks - Manvel TX
Lawrence A. Behrmann - Houston TX
Adinathan Venkitaraman - Houston TX
Ian Walton - Sugar Land TX
Anthony P. Vovers - Houston TX
Vladimir Vaynshteyn - Sugar Land TX
Dinesh R. Patel - Sugar Land TX
Michael W. Fruge - Katy TX
Assignee:
Schlumberger Technology Corp. - Sugar Land TX
International Classification:
E21B 2900
US Classification:
166370, 166297, 166311, 166 551, 166163
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for improving reservoir communication includes, in one arrangement, use of one or more chambers to create an underbalance condition and/or a fluid surge in the wellbore. In another arrangement, a tool string comprises a packer, a circulating valve, and an atmospheric chamber, in which the circulating valve, when open, is adapted to vent a lower wellbore region below the packer when the packer is set, and the atmospheric chamber is capable of being operated to create an underbalance condition below the packer. In yet another arrangement, an apparatus comprises a subsea wellhead equipment including a blow-out preventer, choke line filled with a low density fluid, and a kill line filled with a heavy fluid. The choke line is adapted to be opened to create an underbalance condition in the wellbore. In yet another arrangement, a method of creating an underbalance condition comprises controlling wellbore pressure at least in a perforating interval to achieve a target level, configuring a perforating gun to achieve a target detonation pressure in the perforating gun upon detonation, and creating an underbalance condition in the perforating interval of the wellbore when the perforating gun is shot.

Providing A Low Pressure Condition In A Wellbore Region

US Patent:
6966377, Nov 22, 2005
Filed:
Feb 11, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/776997
Inventors:
Ashley B. Johnson - Cambridge, GB
Lawrence A. Behrmann - Houston TX, US
Wenbo Yang - Sugar Land TX, US
Fokko Harm Cornelis Doornbosch - Westhill, GB
Ian C. Walton - Sugar Land TX, US
Assignee:
Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Sugarland TX
International Classification:
E21B043/17
US Classification:
166297, 116 551, 116163, 116311, 175 454
Abstract:
An apparatus and method includes positioning a string in a wellbore, the string having a surge chamber. A closure member is provided below the well surface, with the surge chamber defined at least in part by the closure member. At least one port to the chamber is opened to create a fluid surge into the surge chamber and a local low pressure condition in a wellbore region.

Controlling A Pressure Transient In A Well

US Patent:
7036594, May 2, 2006
Filed:
Nov 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/701309
Inventors:
Ian Walton - Sugar Land TX, US
Frank F. Chang - Sugar Land TX, US
Assignee:
Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Sugar Land TX
International Classification:
E21B 43/25
US Classification:
166297, 166 55
Abstract:
A system for controlling a dynamic pressure transient in a well during operations to provide fluid communication between the wellbore and adjacent formation. A method includes determining the characteristics of an adjacent formation, selecting a perforating tool for increasing fluid communication, determining a dynamic pressure transient to enhance the quality of the fluid communication and prevent damage, selecting a wellbore fluid to achieve the desired pressure transient, and performing the fluid communication process based on the selected parameters.

Method And Apparatus For Reducing Pressure In A Perforating Gun

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.
