Patent number: 10422204Abstract: A system and method for stimulating hydrocarbon production from a wellbore that perforates the formation around the wellbore in strategic locations so that fractures can be formed in the formation having specific orientations. The system includes deep penetration perforators that extend past a portion of the formation adjacent the wellbore having locally high internal stresses (a stress cage); and big hole perforators that form perforations with a larger entrance diameter. The perforators form perforations in the formation that are axially consolidated along the wellbore. After perforating, the wellbore is hydraulically fractured with high pressure fluid, which creates fractures in a formation surrounding the wellbore that extend radially outward from the perforations. Creating perforations that are axially consolidated reduces the chances of forming competing fractures in the formation during fracturing.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATEDInventors: Timothy Sampson, Stephen Zuklic, Khaled Gasmi, Brent W. Naizer, Rajani Satti, Scott G. Nelson, Harold D. Brannon, Jason McCann, James N. Gilliat, Juan C. Flores

Publication number: 20170328134Abstract: A method and system for downhole operations that includes an energetic material with a reduced sensitivity to temperature, and a temperature rating that is higher than other energetic materials. Downhole tools that use energetic material thus can have a higher temperature rating with the reduced sensitivity energetic material. One embodiment of the energetic material includes an energetic heterocycle compound, such as 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2017Publication date: November 16, 2017Applicant: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Timothy Sampson, Gasmi Khaled, Stephen Zuklic, Jason McCann, William Harvey, David Betancourt, Charles McClean, Mark Sloan
