Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of petroleum technology, and in particular to a gamma instrument anti-vibration device. Background Art

[0002] In oilfield logging and perforating operations, a gamma instrument is usually first sent downhole with a steel cable hoist. After the gamma instrument is used to measure the depth of the location of the positioning perforation, the gamma instrument is lifted to the ground and taken out. The perforating gun is then lowered into the oil well to the predetermined depth with a steel cable hoist. The ground staff controls the console cable to detonate the shells of the downhole perforating gun to complete the perforating operation. This requires two trips down the well, and each trip and lift will incur high costs.

[0003] In order to improve work efficiency and save costs, the perforating gun and the gamma instrument are now connected and lowered into the well together, the depth of the perforation is measured and the perforation operation is completed at one time, saving the cost of lowering and lifting the gamma instrument into the well. However, a certain vibration will be generated when the shell is perforating, and the gamma instrument is at risk of being damaged by the vibration. Therefore, the gamma instrument needs to be designed to be shockproof.
