  • Safe transport of shaped charges
    Patent number: 11781845
    Abstract: A shaped charge is described herein, comprising a case; an energetic material disposed in the case; a metallic liner with a first surface disposed in contact with the energetic material and a second surface that is opposite from the first surface, and that defines a cavity; and an attenuator disposed in the cavity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2023
    Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
    Inventors: Cesar Diaz Garcia, David Damm, Scott Malone
  • System and methodology for minimizing perforating gun shock loads
    Patent number: 11215040
    Abstract: A technique facilitates perforating along specific regions of a wellbore without creating detrimental transient pressure changes along a perforating gun string. In non-perforation regions, pressure charges may be used to maintain pressure within the gun string without creating perforations through the surrounding casing and into the surrounding formation. Each pressure charge may comprise a casing with an explosive material disposed in the casing. However, the components and structure of the pressure charge enable detonation and the corresponding increase in pressure within the gun string without creating perforations.
