Abstract: A method and apparatus for using a tandem sub to connect one or more perforating gun assemblies, having a rotational bearing mechanism lining the inner diameter in both ends to allow the charge tube assembly to rotate within the gun body.
Abstract: A shaped charge having a liner with three frustoconical segments and a bottom portion configured to provide consistent perforating holes over a range of distances from the shaped charge.
Abstract: An electrical connector apparatus for use in a downhole tool comprising a housing, a contact screw within outer threads and inner threads, a contact plunger within the inner bore of the housing and a second cylinder protruding from the first cylinder. The contact spring is located between the contact plunger and the contact screw and pre-loads the contact plunger within the housing.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for firing a detonator in a perforating gun string into a wellbore to a predetermined location using solid state electronics comprising: raising the voltage on the wireline to signal a solid state dual firing circuit within the perforating gun string to energize a detonator, energize the detonator, opening the detonator, firing a first perforating gun, and lowering the voltage of the wireline.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the orientation of each perforating gun in a wellbore and using that information in arming and firing each perforating gun in a perforating gun string.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for determining the location of a tool traveling down a wellbore by measuring a first borehole magnetic anomaly with respect to time at two known locations on a tool, comparing the time difference between the two measurements, then calculating the velocity of the tool based on the comparison and then further calculating the distance traveled by the tool in the wellbore based on the velocity calculation.
