The invention discloses a perforating gun for a horizontal well, and belongs to the technical field of
oil exploration equipment. The gun comprises a gun body, a gun carrier and a booster tube. The gun body is in a cylindrical tubular shape, the surface of the gun body is provided with preset holes corresponding to perforating bullets in position, the head segment and the
tail segment of the gun body are correspondingly provided with a gun head and a gun
tail, the two ends of the gun carrier are fixed into the gun body through a positioning ring, the center line of the gun carrier and the center line of the gun body coincide, perforating bullets are arranged on the gun carrier, the booster tube is arranged on the gun head of the gun body, and is connected with a detonating cord, the positioning ring comprises a ring body, the ring body is provided with a positioning hole, the positioning hole and the axis line of the ring body are inclined, the inner wall of the gun body is provided with a
blind hole corresponding to the positioning hole, a positioning ring is matched with the
blind hole through a fastening part to fix the gun carrier in the gun body, and the
blind hole is filled with a packing material in advance. The perforating position precision and alignment of the perforating direction and the preset hole can be effectively ensured, the friction resistance of the perforating gun can be reduced, a compensation type
detonation transmission is designed, and fail transmission of perforating can be avoided.
