Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil and gas perforation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a double-loaded perforating gun. Background Technology

[0002] A perforating gun is an assembly of equipment and accessories used for perforating oil and gas wells. Currently, conventional perforating guns on the market have relatively simple phase structures, with perforation phases typically at 60°, 90°, or 120°. The perforation gun's bullet hole design is also simple, with only one bullet hole designed at each location to specifically match the phase design requirements of a particular perforation bullet. The perforating gun's bullet placement method needs to be designed only after the oil well's requirements are determined. Because the perforation bullet installation method for perforating guns is mostly customized, requiring the design of specific bullet holes on the bullet holder tube to accommodate the perforation bullet according to the oil well's needs and the perforation bullet design, it's impossible to pre-design the perforation bullet. Furthermore, the design and manufacturing cycle requirements are generally short, placing significant pressure on designers and manufacturers. If the perforation bullet phase changes, the perforating gun needs to be redesigned; there is currently no universal perforation solution to address frequently changing design requirements.

[0003] However, according to analysis, the design of foreign oil wells has been relatively simple in recent years, and the number of design types required is generally small. If the design of several perforation shells can be integrated into a single perforation gun, the design of the perforation gun can be made simpler, and the perforation guns can be pre-processed as inventory to cope with scenarios where there is a large demand for multiple designs but a short timeframe.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a double-loading perforating gun that can select multiple perforation directions, enabling the same perforating gun to achieve multiple combined perforation methods, and meeting the general design requirements of perforating guns. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing perforating guns, which only allow for customized design of a single bullet hole at the same location, making pre-design impossible and incompatible with various oil well designs. This invention provides a double-loaded perforating gun with a through-hole design, enabling the selection of multiple perforation bullet directions and allowing a single perforating gun to achieve multiple combined perforation methods. This satisfies the technical requirement for universal perforating gun design, and can effectively address scenarios with high demand for multiple directional perforating gun designs but tight timeframes, thus solving the problems of numerous and complex perforating gun designs and time constraints.

[0007] Preferably, an upper conductive plug and a lower conductive plug are respectively installed in the inner holes of the upper bearing assembly and the lower bearing assembly.

[0008] Preferably, both the upper bearing assembly and the lower bearing assembly include a bearing outer sleeve, a bearing housing, an angular contact ball bearing, and a shaft elastic retaining ring. The angular contact ball bearing is installed in the cavity formed by the bearing outer sleeve and the bearing housing. The shaft elastic retaining ring is installed on the bearing housing to prevent misalignment. There is a gap between the bearing housing and the bearing outer sleeve, and lubricating oil is present in the gap. Both ends of the directional spring frame tube are provided with positioning mounting holes, and the bearing housing is fixedly connected to the directional spring frame tube through the positioning mounting holes.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the barrel are provided with annular grooves, and each pair of annular grooves is provided with a retaining ring for the hole, and the pair of retaining rings for the hole respectively cooperate with the bearing outer sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, two spring plates are provided on the barrel near the upper conductive plug.

[0011] Preferably, the plurality of counterweights are fixedly connected to the directional spring frame tube by a plurality of rivets.

[0012] Preferably, both ends of the directional spring tube are equipped with rubber screw protective caps.

[0013] Preferably, both ends of the gun barrel are equipped with dust covers.

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] By creating two perforating bullet holes of different phases at the same position along the axial direction of the directional ammunition holder tube, a single perforating gun can select multiple perforating directions for the perforating bullets. Perforating bullets can be selected according to different perforating direction requirements, enabling a single perforating gun to achieve multiple combined perforation methods. This design offers high versatility and can address scenarios with large design requirements but tight deadlines for directional perforating guns, effectively solving the problems of numerous and complex perforating gun designs and time constraints.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a double-mounted perforated bullet gun, including a barrel 1, and a directional bullet holder assembly 2 arranged inside the barrel 1; the directional bullet holder assembly 2 includes a directional bullet holder tube 21 rotatably mounted inside the barrel 1 via an upper bearing assembly 3 and a lower bearing assembly 4; multiple counterweights 22 are installed inside the directional bullet holder tube 21, and multiple sets of bullet holes 21a are linearly distributed along the longitudinal direction of the directional bullet holder tube 21, each set of bullet holes 21a including two bullet holes 21a of different phases opened at the same position along the axial direction of the directional bullet holder tube 21, and the bullet holes 21a are used to install perforated bullets.

[0026] In this embodiment, an upper conductive plug 5 and a lower conductive plug 6 are respectively installed in the inner holes of the upper bearing assembly 3 and the lower bearing assembly 4. The upper conductive plug 5 is electrically connected to a switch 24 located inside the directional spring holder tube 21. The switch 24 is connected to the perforating spring through a wire 7 and is connected to the lower conductive plug 6 to form a circuit. The switch 24 is a prior art that has been disclosed and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] In this embodiment, both the upper bearing assembly 3 and the lower bearing assembly 4 include a bearing outer sleeve 31, a bearing housing 32, an angular contact ball bearing 33, and a shaft elastic retaining ring 34. The angular contact ball bearing 33 is installed in the cavity formed by the bearing outer sleeve 31 and the bearing housing 32. The shaft elastic retaining ring 34 is installed on the bearing housing 32 to prevent backlash. There is a gap between the bearing housing 32 and the bearing outer sleeve 31, and lubricating oil is present in the gap. Both ends of the directional magazine tube 21 are provided with positioning mounting holes, and the bearing housing 32 is fixedly connected to the directional magazine tube 21 through the positioning mounting holes. The barrel 1 has grooves of different depths at both ends, and the bearing outer sleeve 31 and the shaft elastic retaining ring 34 are installed in the grooves.

[0028] In this embodiment, the annular grooves at both ends of the barrel 1 are provided with elastic retaining rings 8 for holes. A pair of elastic retaining rings 8 for holes respectively cooperate with the bearing outer sleeve 31 to reduce wear.

[0029] In this embodiment, two spring plates 9 are provided near the upper conductive plug 5 on the barrel 1. The spring plates 9 are used for grounding signals.
