  • Firing head actuator for a well perforating system and method for use of same
    Patent number: 8991496
    Abstract: A firing head actuator for a well perforating system. The firing head actuator includes a housing assembly with a first impact piston initially secured thereto and slidably disposed therein. An electronic time delay assembly, a trigger assembly and an initiator are also disposed within the housing assembly. A second impact piston is initially secured within and slidably disposed within the housing assembly. In operation, a pressure signal of a predetermined threshold actuates the first impact piston, the first impact piston mechanically actuates the electronic time delay assembly, after a predetermined time period, the electronic time delay assembly electrically actuates the trigger assembly, the trigger assembly mechanically releases the second impact piston and pressure shifts the second impact piston into contact with the initiator.
