Patent number: 11421514Abstract: Embodiments may take the form of a perforating gun of modular assembly. The perforating gun may include at least one centralizing member at an interface between a loading tube and a carrier. Among modular components, the gun may also include an initiator assembly module that is electrically coupled to a modular feedthrough with a connector. The insert and the centralizing member may enhance axial cohesiveness of the modular gun. A shock absorbing mount may be located within the carrier and may receiving the initiator assembly module to provide added axial cohesiveness to the modular gun.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Edward Harrigan, Hao Liu, Vinod Chakka, Richard Warns, Pedro Hernandez, Raphael Rogman, Allan Goldberg

Patent number: 10975672Abstract: A technique facilitates mitigation of shock loads. Subterranean communication systems may comprise components susceptible to various shock loads. A shock mitigation system is physically coupled with the subterranean communication system to mitigate such shock loads. The shock mitigation system comprises components selected to enable reduction of various effects of shock loads, e.g. shock loads resulting from perforating procedures, which could otherwise be detrimental to continued operation of the subterranean communication system.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Christian C. Spring, Allan Goldberg, Sheryl Raezer, Christophe Rayssiguier

Patent number: 10077641Abstract: A wellbore perforating device includes at least one perforating charge and an initiator. The initiator can include a ballistic train adapted to fire the at least one perforating charge. The ballistic train can include a detonator and a detonator cord. A ballistic interrupt shutter can be disposed between the detonator and the detonator cord. The ballistic interrupt shutter can prevent firing of the detonator cord.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2013Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Raphael Rogman, Allan Goldberg, Vinod Chakka, Pedro Hernandez, Roman Munoz, Richard Lee Warns, Hao Liu, Marcos Calderon, Edward Harrigan, Kenneth Randall Goodman

Publication number: 20070055407Abstract: A self-adjusting irrigation controller takes a pre-irrigation soil moisture reading prior to irrigation, chooses an amount of water to be dispensed corresponding to that reading from a table, and dispenses that amount of water. A predetermined length of time after the end of irrigation, the controller takes a post-irrigation soil moisture reading and compares the value of that reading to a predetermined target value. If the post-irrigation value differs substantially from the target value, the water amount corresponding to the pre-irrigation value in the table is adjusted to reduce that difference on the next scheduled irrigation cycle having that same pre-irrigation soil moisture reading. The target value is determined by watering the soil to field capacity, then computing the target value as a function of the reading of the sensor at field capacity. The controller thus converges toward an ideal runtime and follows changes in the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2006Publication date: March 8, 2007Inventors: Allan Goldberg, Larry Hopkins, Larry Hawkes, James Zimmerman

Publication number: 20060122735Abstract: A free-standing field irrigation controller is selectively programmed by a personal computer over a radio link. The computer is equipped with software that displays a screen with seven horizontal time bands representing one day each, arranged vertically to display one week's time. Box icons representing watering settings for a plurality of zones can be dragged and dropped onto the time bands, copied and modified thereon as desired, to form a freely selectable watering schedule. Other selectable screens allow odd-days or even-days watering, sophisticated interval watering, global watering time adjustment, and a variety of manual functions. Selectable portions of the main screen can be enlarged as desired. Based on the selected schedule, the computer calculates and displays the monthly cost of water. Selected zones can be temporarily disabled to deal with weather or maintenance issues. A handheld global shut-off and manual watering remote and/or a separate radio-linked computer may be used in field maintenance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2006Publication date: June 8, 2006Inventors: Allan Goldberg, Larry Hopkins, Randall Pearson, Larry Hawkes, Michael Grundy
