Abstract:
A method for transporting and relocating heavy equipment using a fluid to lift heavy equipment with a lift assembly with a rotatable motion gear assembly. The method can include disengaging a rod one of four walking assemblies secured to the lift assembly and extending a push pull travelling system to move equipment in a first direction using roller treads. The method can include raising one of the four walking assemblies with the lift assembly and pivoting one walking assembly in an opposite direction. The method can include retracting the push pull travelling system and rotating the walking assembly to orient in a second direction.

Abstract:
A vehicle for positioning a transportable and relocatable equipment having at least four walking assemblies attached to a frame, each walking assembly having a walking pad, a roller tread, a lift assembly connected to a central collar, a rotatable motion gear assembly disposed around the lift assembly, a motor for actuating the rotatable motion gear assembly, a pivoting collar disposed around the rod operated by a controlling means with a processor, a push pull traveling system for receiving fluid and extending a specified distance causing movement of the vehicle in a first direction, and enabling the walking assemblies to raise, reorient, lower, and travel in a second direction.

Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include bulkheads for perforating guns and perforating gun assemblies. A bulkhead includes a threadless exterior surface that spans a length of a threaded connection of adjacent first and second perforating guns. The bulkhead also includes a first exterior groove having a first sealing element partially disposed in the first exterior groove. The bulkhead further includes a second exterior groove having a second sealing element partially disposed in the second exterior groove, where the first sealing element and the second sealing element are positioned around the threaded connection.

International Classification:
E21B 43/116
Abstract:
An apparatus and method according to which a perforating gun includes a volume fill body. The volume fill body is positioned in the space between a charge tube and a carrier tube. The fill body occupies at least part, and sometimes all, of the free volume space between the charge tube and carrier tube thereby reducing the free volume space. In certain downhole applications, large free volume space can lead to significant reductions in wellbore pressure, causing dynamic underbalance, which is undesirable. The presence of the volume fill body prevents, or at least reduces, dynamic underbalance and its effects. Also, the volume fill body aligns the charge tube with the carrier tube, further assisting perforation.

International Classification:
E21B 43/119 E21B 43/116
Abstract:
A perforating system and method includes a perforating gun with shaped charges and an orientation device. The orientation device provides an orientation datum. Sensors associated with the perforating gun detect relative alignment of each perforating gun as compared to the orientation datum. A detonation signal can be either sent or not sent to the perforating gun in response to the signal received from the orientation sensor.

International Classification:
E21B 43/117
Abstract:
A perforating tool assembly may be modularized by providing modular charge segments to provide for multiple configurations of shaped charges without the requirement of excess inventory. The modular charge segments may comprise any number of modular charge holder segments and modular charge spacer segments which are configured to provide for different spacings and offsets of shaped charges disposed within the modular charge holder segments. The modular charge holder segments include slots and locking tabs to allow for the differing offsets between charges. The modular charge holder segments may comprise a slit that allows the modular holder segment to be flexed or deflected to permit the loading and downloading of shaped charges. The modular charge segments may comprise a plastic or rubber material to provide for safer deployment of shaped charges downhole.

Abstract:
This disclosure may generally relate to subterranean operations. A ballistic transfer apparatus may include a detonation transfer line, wherein the detonation transfer line comprises a first end and a second end; a first holder in engagement with the first end of the detonation transfer line to retain the detonation transfer line in the ballistic transfer apparatus; a second holder in engagement with the second end of the detonation transfer line to retain the detonation transfer line in the ballistic transfer apparatus; and a shroud extending between the first holder and the second holder that covers the detonation transfer line.
