  • Patent number: 12123286
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a perforating gun having a movable detonator holder in a first perforating gun that is positioned inside the carrier such that the detonator is not directly positioned end to end nor side by side with the detonating cord in the loading tube. When a second perforating gun is screwed onto the first perforating gun, the entire charge tube assembly moves, closing the detonator holder further into the carrier such that the detonating holder closes in on the detonating cord until the detonator is adjacent to the detonating cord to connect the detonator to detonating cord ballistic train.

  • Patent number: 12104468
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for containing one or more shaped charges in a single plane, using a shaped charge housing containing a cluster of one or more shaped charges. The cluster contains with the apex ends facing each other, arrayed about the center axis of a gun body, and detonated from a single initiator located in the middle of the cluster of the one or more shaped charges. The shaped charge housing can be one of many shaped charge housings coupled together to perforate in a plurality of single planes.
