Abstract: A method and apparatus for crimping a charge tube adapted to carry shaped charges to an end fitting for loading shaped charges into a perforating gun.
Abstract: A gun to gun transfer delay fuse that includes a delay housing, a first cylindrical cavity housing a firing pin and igniter, and a second cylindrical cavity housing a delay fuse with a centralizer feature.
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.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for detonating a power charge in downhole wellbore using a heating element embedded within the energetic material of the power charge.
