СИСТЕМА И СПОСОБ ДОСТАВКИ ЭМУЛЬСИОННОГО ВЗРЫВЧАТОГО ВЕЩЕСТВА

Abstract

This document discloses a system for delivering an emulsion explosive, comprising a reservoir configured to store an emulsion matrix; a gas source configured to produce compressed gas; a pipeline configured to be introduced into a wellbore, wherein the pipeline is hydraulically connected to the reservoir and configured to supply the emulsion matrix, and wherein the pipeline is also hydraulically connected to the gas source and configured to supply compressed gas to a point near an outlet of the pipeline and to introduce the compressed gas into the emulsion matrix at said point to form an emulsion explosive; and a nozzle located in the outlet of the pipeline and operatively connected thereto, wherein the nozzle is configured to supply the emulsion explosive into the wellbore.Also disclosed is a method for delivering an emulsion explosive, comprising introducing a pipeline into a wellbore; passing an emulsion matrix through the pipeline; introducing compressed gas into the emulsion matrix near the outlet of the pipeline to form an emulsion explosive; and transporting the emulsion explosive into the wellbore.
