Joint Operation Technology of Directional Bridge Plug and Perforation for Horizontal Wells Based on Inclination Angle Detector by TANG Ke, FANG Ming

“…In the construction of directional bridge plug and perforation joint operation, when the perforating gun is pumped to the horizontal section of the well, the orientation of the perforating bullet’s firing port cannot be detected by the existing technical means. By developing a inclination angle detector and a fully integrated directional perforation device, integrating the selection control chip and three-axis acceleration sensor functions, the control circuit is designed to achieve the initiation control of cluster perforation, measure the direction of perforation projectile in real time and upload it to the ground selection control system. …”
