  • Boosterless ballistic transfer
    Patent number: 11656066
    Abstract: A ballistic transfer system, comprising: a housing, wherein the housing is cylindrical, wherein the housing comprises: a central bore that traverses a length of the housing; a first end; wherein the first end is disposed about a first ballistic apparatus; and a second end, wherein the second end is opposite to the first end, wherein the second end is disposed about a second ballistic apparatus; an alignment insert, wherein the alignment insert is secured into the housing; a first detonation transfer line, wherein a portion of the first detonation transfer line is disposed within the alignment insert; and a second detonation transfer line, wherein a portion of the second detonation transfer line is disposed within the alignment insert.
    Type: Grant

  • Additive manufacturing of energetic materials in oil well shaped charges
    Patent number: 11415397
    Abstract: A shaped charge for use in a well perforating tool includes at least one explosive component fabricated by an additive manufacturing process such as three-dimensional printing. The additive manufacturing process may facilitate the production of complex geometries including voids and/or density gradients in the explosive materials that, when detonated, produce a specific penetration effect in a wellbore. The explosive materials may be deposited individually as a pellet, or may be deposited on one or both of a case and a liner acting as a scaffold during the additive manufacturing process.
