Devices and methods for selective actuation of wellbore tools are generally described. In particular, devices and methods for selective arming of a detonator assembly of a perforating gun assembly are generally described.
Hydrocarbons, such as fossil fuels (e.g. oil) and natural gas, are extracted from underground wellbores extending deeply below the surface using complex machinery and explosive devices. Once the wellbore is established by placement of cases after drilling, a perforating gun assembly, or train or string of multiple perforating gun assemblies, are lowered into the wellbore, and positioned adjacent one or more hydrocarbon reservoirs in underground formations. The perforating gun has explosive charges, typically shaped, hollow or projectile charges, which are ignited to create holes in the casing and to blast through the formation so that the hydrocarbons can flow through the casing. Once the perforating gun(s) is properly positioned, a surface signal actuates an ignition of a fuse, which in turn initiates a detonating cord, which detonates the shaped charges to penetrate/perforate the casing and thereby allow formation fluids to flow through the perforations thus formed and into a production string. The surface signal typically travels from the surface along electrical wires that run from the surface to one or more detonators positioned within the perforating gun assembly.
Assembly of a perforating gun requires assembly of multiple parts, which typically include at least the following components: a housing or outer gun barrel within which is positioned an electrical wire for communicating from the surface to initiate ignition, a percussion initiator and/or a detonator, a detonating cord, one or more charges which are held in an inner tube, strip or carrying device and, where necessary, one or more boosters. Assembly typically includes threaded insertion of one component into another by screwing or twisting the components into place, optionally by use of a tandem adapter. Since the electrical wire must extend through much of the perforating gun assembly, it is easily twisted and crimped during assembly. In addition, when a wired detonator is used it must be manually connected to the electrical wire, which has lead to multiple problems. Due to the rotating assembly of parts, the wires can become torn, twisted and/or crimped/nicked, the wires may be inadvertently disconnected, or even mis-connected in error during assembly, not to mention the safety issues associated with physically and manually wiring live explosives.
According to the prior art and as shown in
The detonator assembly described herein does away with the wired connection by providing a wirelessly-connectable, selective detonator, more specifically, a detonator configured to be received within a detonator positioning assembly through a wireless connection—that is, without the need to attach wires to the detonator. For the sake of clarity, the term “wireless” does not refer to a WiFi connection. The detonator assembly described herein solves the problems associated with the wired detonator of the prior art in that it is simple to assemble and is almost impossible to falsely connect.
An embodiment provides a wirelessly-connectable selective detonator assembly configured for being electrically contactably received within a perforating gun assembly without using a wired electrical connection according to claim 1.
Another embodiment provides a perforating gun assembly including the wirelessly-connectable selective detonator assembly and a detonator positioning assembly according to the independent assembly claim.
Another embodiment provides a method of assembling the perforating gun assembly according to the independent method claim.
A more particular description briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof that are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting of its scope, exemplary embodiments will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
Various features, aspects, and advantages of the embodiments will become more apparent from the following detailed description, along with the accompanying figures in which like numerals represent like components throughout the figures and text. The various described features are not necessarily drawn to scale, but are drawn to emphasize specific features relevant to embodiments.
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments. Each example is provided by way of explanation, and is not meant as a limitation and does not constitute a definition of all possible embodiments.
In an embodiment, a detonator assembly is provided that is capable of being positioned or placed into a perforating gun assembly with minimal effort, by means of placement/positioning within a detonator positioning assembly. In an embodiment, the detonator positioning assembly includes the detonator assembly positioned within the detonator positioning assembly, which is positioned within the perforating gun assembly. The detonator assembly electrically contactably forms an electrical connection without the need of manually and physically connecting, cutting or crimping wires as required in a wired electrical connection. Rather, the detonator assembly described herein is a wirelessly-connectable selective detonator assembly.
In an embodiment, the detonator assembly is particularly suited for use with a modular perforating gun assembly as described in a Canadian Patent Application No. 2,824,838 filed Aug. 26, 2013, entitled PERFORATION GUN COMPONENTS AND SYSTEM, (hereinafter “the Canadian Application”), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The Canadian Application describes a modular-type perforating gun which means that at least some of the components are typically snapped, clicked, or plugged together, rather than screwed, twisted or rotated together as discussed above. That is, the modular perforating gun includes components that are fit together using studs or pins protruding from one component, that are frictionally fit into recessed areas or sockets in an adjoining component.
As used herein, the term “wireless” means that the detonator assembly itself is not manually, physically connected within the perforating gun assembly as has been traditionally done with wired connections, but rather merely makes electrical contact through various components as described herein to form the electrical connections. Thus, the signal is not being wirelessly transmitted, but is rather being relayed through electrical cables/wiring within the perforating gun assembly through the electrical contacts.
Now referring to
In an embodiment, the detonator shell 12 is configured as a housing or casing, typically a metallic, which houses at least a detonator head plug 14, a fuse head 15, an electronic circuit board 16 and explosive components. According to one aspect, the fuse head 15 could be any device capable of converting an electric signal into an explosion. In an embodiment shown in
The detonator head 18 extends from one end of the detonator shell 12, and includes more than one electrical contacting component including an electrically contactable line-in portion 20 and an electrically contactable line-out portion 22, according to an aspect. According to one aspect, the detonator assembly 10 may also include an electrically contactable ground portion 13. In an embodiment, the detonator head 18 may be disk-shaped. In another embodiment, at least a portion of the detonator shell 12 is configured as the ground portion 13. The line-in portion 20, the line-out portion 22 and the ground portion 13 are configured to replace the wired connection of the prior art wired detonator 60 and to complete the electrical connection merely by contact with other electrical contacting components. In this way, the line-in portion 20 of the detonator assembly 10 replaces the signal-in wire 61 of the wired detonator 60, the line-out portion 22 replaces the signal-out wire 62 and the ground portion 13 replaces the ground wire 63. Thus, when placed into a detonator positioning assembly 30 (see
The detonator head 18 also includes an insulator 24, which is positioned between the line-in portion 20 and the line-out portion 22. The insulator 24 functions to electrically isolate the line-in portion 20 from the line-out portion 22. Insulation may also be positioned between other lines of the detonator head. As discussed above and in an embodiment, it is possible for all of the contacts to be configured as part of the detonator head 18 (not shown), as found, for instance, in a banana connector used in a headphone wire assembly in which the contacts are stacked longitudinally along a central axis of the connector, with the insulating portion situated between them.
In an embodiment, a capacitor 17 is positioned or otherwise assembled as part of the electronic circuit board 16. The capacitor 17 is configured to be discharged to initiate the detonator assembly 10 upon receipt of a digital firing sequence via the ignition signal I, the ignition signal being electrically relayed directly through the line-in portion 20 and the line-out portion 22 of the detonator head 18. In a typical arrangement, a first digital code is transmitted down-hole to and received by the electronic circuit board. Once it is confirmed that the first digital code is the correct code for that specific detonator assembly, an electronic gate is closed and the capacitor is charged. Then, as a safety feature, a second digital code is transmitted to and received by the electronic circuit board. The second digital code, which is also confirmed as the proper code for the particular detonator, closes a second gate, which in turn discharges the capacitor via the fuse head to initiate the detonation.
In an embodiment, the detonator assembly 10 may be fluid disabled. “Fluid disabled” means that if the perforating gun has a leak and fluid enters the gun system then the detonator is disabled by the presence of the fluid and hence the explosive train is broken. This prevents a perforating gun from splitting open inside a well if it has a leak and plugging the wellbore, as the hardware would burst open. In an embodiment, the detonator assembly 10 is a selective fluid disabled electronic (SFDE) detonator assembly.
The detonator assembly 10 according to an aspect can be either an electric or an electronic detonator. In an electric detonator, a direct wire from the surface is electrically contactingly connected to the detonator assembly and power is increased to directly initiate the fuse head. In an electronic detonator assembly, circuitry of the electronic circuit board within the detonator assembly is used to initiate the fuse head.
In an embodiment, the detonator assembly 10 may be immune, that is, will not unintentionally fire or be armed by stray current or voltage and/or radiofrequency (RF) signals to avoid inadvertent firing of the perforating gun. Thus, in this embodiment, the assembly is provided with means for ensuring immunity to high stray current or voltage and/or RF signals, such that the detonator assembly 10 is not initiated through random radio frequency signals, stray voltage or stray current. In other words, the detonator assembly 10 is configured to avoid unintended initiation and would fail safe.
The detonator assembly 10 is configured to be electrically contactingly received within the detonator positioning assembly 30, in which an embodiment is depicted in
In an embodiment and as shown in
With particular reference to
The detonator positioning assembly 30 abuts and connects or snap-fits to grounding means, depicted herein as the gun body or barrel or carrier or housing 42, for grounding the detonator assembly 10. A tandem seal adapter 44 is configured to seal inner components within the perforating gun housing 42 from the outside environment using sealing means. The tandem seal adapter 44 seals adjacent perforating gun assemblies (not shown) from each other, along with a bulkhead assembly 46.
The bulkhead assembly 46 functions to relay a line-in contact-initiating pin 38 for wirelessly electrically contacting the line-in portion 20 of the detonator head 18.
Turning again to the detonator positioning assembly 30, in a preferred embodiment, the sleeve 31 includes a recessed portion 32 that includes an opening on one end and a base on the opposite end of the recessed portion. Preferably, the sleeve 31 also includes a bore 33 positioned at the base, more preferably in the center of the base of the recessed portion 32. The bore 33 extends within and along at least a portion of a length of the detonator positioning assembly 30 such that when the detonator assembly 10 is positioned within the sleeve 31, the detonator shell 12 is positioned in the bore 33.
In an embodiment, the recessed portion 32 and the detonator head 18 are complementarily sized and shaped to receive and seat/be received and seated, respectively, in at least a semi-fixed position within the detonator positioning assembly 30.
In yet another embodiment, the sleeve 31 includes a line-out contact-receiving portion 36 configured for electrically contactingly engaging the line-out portion 22 of the detonator head 18 to form a first electrical connection. In other words, the electrical connection is made only by contact with the line-out portion of the detonator head 18 . . . that is by merely physically touching.
Preferably, a line-in contact-initiating pin 38 is provided and configured for electrically contactingly engaging the line-in portion 20 of the detonator head 18 to form a second electrical connection, and the ground portion 13 is configured for electrically contactingly engaging an inner wall or surface of the gun carrier 42, otherwise referred to as a ground contact-receiving portion 39, to form a third electrical connection. The connection is made, in this embodiment, via an integral ground connection in the detonator positioning assembly 30 and the locking fins 34. In an embodiment, the detonator positioning assembly 30 and the locking fins 34 may be made from conductive material. Thus, when the detonator assembly 10 is positioned within the detonator positioning assembly 30, the first, second and third electrical connections are completed without using a wired electrical connection. In an embodiment, the line-out contact-receiving portion 36 is positioned at the base of the recessed portion 32 of the sleeve 31.
In an embodiment, the line-in contact-initiating pin 38, the line-out contact-receiving portion 36 and the ground contact-receiving portion 39, as well as the line-in portion 20, the line-out portion 22 and the ground portion 13 are physically isolated from each other.
In an embodiment, a through wire 35 extends between the line-out contact-receiving portion 36 of the perforating gun assembly 40 to an adjacent perforating gun assembly in a multiple gun arrangement or train.
In an embodiment, a detonating cord 48 is positioned within the detonator positioning assembly 30, adjacent to the bore 33, such that at least a portion of the detonating cord 48 is in side-by-side contact with at least a portion of the detonator shell 12 at the end opposite the detonator head 18.
In operation and in an embodiment, the ignition signal I is received by the detonator assembly 10, which ignites the detonating cord 48, which in turn ignites each of the charge(s) 50 attached to the detonating cord. Transmission of the signal I is conducted along the through wire 35, without the need to manually connect the through wire 35 to the detonator assembly 10, that is, without using a wired electrical connection, while the electrical contacts are completed upon placement of the detonator assembly 10 into the detonator positioning assembly 30.
According to an aspect, a method of assembling the perforating gun assembly 40 without using a wired electrical connection is also provided. The method includes the steps of positioning the detonator positioning assembly 30 within the perforating gun assembly 40 and positioning a wirelessly-connectable selective electronic detonator assembly 10 within the detonator positioning assembly 30. In yet another embodiment, the method includes assembling a modular perforating gun assembly and the method includes frictionally fitting or snap-fitting components together.
