Patent number: 11662185Abstract: An amorphous-based material component may be incorporated into a liner for a shaped charge used in perforating a wellbore casing. Other components of the shaped charge and/or perforating gun that accommodates the shaped charge may be of amorphous-based materials. Further, the liner and other components of the shaped charge may be manufactured by way of three dimensional printing. Indeed, a multi-material three dimensional print application may be utilized to form shaped charge components simultaneously along with an entire perforating gun system.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Wenbo Yang, Moises Enrique Smart, Jason Mai

Patent number: 11215040Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Carlos Erik Baumann, David Damm, Jose Escudero, Moises Enrique Smart

Publication number: 20140291022Abstract: A shaped charge incorporating an amorphous-based material component. The amorphous-based material component may be a liner for the shaped charge to enhance a jet for a perforating application. Other components of the shaped charge and/or perforating gun that accommodates the shaped charge may be of amorphous-based materials. Further, the liner and other components of the shaped charge may be manufactured by way of three dimensional printing. Indeed, a multi-material three dimensional print application may be utilized to form shaped charge components simultaneously along with an entire perforating gun system. Thus, tailored morphology and material gradient characteristics may be readily incorporated into the gun and shaped charge components with a considerable degree of precision.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Wenbo Yang, Moises Enrique Smart, Jason Mai

Patent number: 8186425Abstract: A downhole propellant gas generator includes a propellant assembly that comprises a plurality of individual lengths of an energetic material packed in a selected configuration and at least one initiator. A method for creating a pressure pulse includes igniting an initiator, wherein the one or more initiators are packed with a plurality of individual lengths of an energetic material in a propellant assembly; igniting the plurality of individual lengths of the energetic material subsequent to the igniting of the one or more initiators. A method for stimulating a well includes disposing in the well a propellant gas generator having a propellant assembly that comprises a plurality of individual lengths of an energetic material, and at least one initiator packed among the plurality of individual lengths of the energetic material; igniting the at least one initiator, which in turn ignites the plurality of individual lengths of the energetic material.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2009Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Moises Enrique Smart, Larry Grigar
