Claims
- 1. A perforating tool for electrolyticly forming perforations from within an electrically conductive production radial tube, said tool comprising an elongate hollow perforating tube portion terminating at its forward end in a nose including spaced electrically conductive port walls defining ports extending through said nose, said tube portion being sufficiently flexible to move through a right angle turn in a tube, an electric power source, and electrically conductive means interconnecting said tube port walls with said electrical power source.
- 2. The perforating tool of claim 1 in which said electrically conductive means comprises a flexible metal sheath interconnecting said tube walls.
- 3. The perforating tool of claim 1 disposed within an electrically conductive pipe.
- 4. The perforating tool of claim 1 in which said pipe turns from a generally vertical direction to a generally horizontal direction forming a radial pipe extending into an underground formation.
- 5. The perforating tool of claim 1 together with spaced fin-like ridges extending along the exterior wall of said perforating tube portion serving to centralize the same with said radial tube.
