  • Patent number: 11174712
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a perforating gun assembly. The perforating gun assembly includes a housing and at least one perforating charge disposed within the housing. Additionally, the perforating gun assembly includes a detonating cord disposed within the housing and ballistically coupled to the at least one perforating charge. Also included in the perforating gun assembly is a detonator assembly disposed in line or adjacent to the detonating cord. The detonator assembly includes a detonator, a ballistic interrupt, an actuator to remove the ballistic interrupt from a line of fire of the detonator, and a detonator control board to control the actuator and firing of the detonator.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10533402
    Abstract: Methods including introducing a downhole orienting tool into a wellbore comprising: a mandrel having a top end and a bottom end, and rotatable about a longitudinal central axis, a sensor module comprising a motor and a sensor, the sensor module disposed on the mandrel and configured to selectively interfere with the movement of the mandrel along the central axis and actively rotate the mandrel by orienting the sensor to a reference point, and a wellbore isolation device comprising an orientation key directionally aligned with the sensor, the wellbore isolation device removably coupled to the bottom end of the mandrel and configured to rotate about the central axis with the mandrel; actively rotating the mandrel and the wellbore isolation device until the sensor is oriented to the reference point, such that the orientation key is also oriented to the reference point; and setting the wellbore isolation device in the wellbore.
