Abstract: A perforating gun, perforating gun system, and method for producing the same is provided. The perforating gun includes a body and at least one cavity liner. The body has an axial length extending between a first axial end and a second axial end, and an outer radial surface extending between the first and second axial ends, an inner bore, and at least one shaped charge cavity disposed in the outer radial surface. The at least one shaped charge cavity is in fluid communication with the inner bore. The at least one cavity liner is disposed in the shaped charge cavity and is configured to retain an explosive material within the shaped charge cavity.

Abstract: A method for installing a submersible pump assembly that allows deployment in a live well under pressure. In some of the embodiments, a pressure barrier is installed in the well lower than a length of the submersible pump assembly. The submersible pump assembly is lowered on a line into the chamber, then a lubricator at the surface seals around the line by allowing the pressure barrier to be released and the submersible pump assembly to be lowered into the well to a desired depth. Preferably, there is a lower pressure barrier in the well. The upper pressure barrier may be a packer that may be collapsed and retrieved alongside the submersible pump assembly. The pressure barrier also may be a packer that is temporarily set in the well, then engaged by the submersible pump assembly, with the pump assembly and packer then being lowered as a unit to a further depth in the well.
