Abstract
Some implementations include a modular gun system for use in a wellbore comprising one or more charge segments each including a first electrical conductor having a first set of integrated electrical contacts.
Claims20
A modular gun system comprising:
- at least one charge segment;
- at least one electrical conductor integrated into the at least one charge segment;
- and
- an at least in part automated assembly system including at least one machine operating program code commands to assemble the modular gun system.
1 more element
An apparatus for automated assembly of a modular gun system comprising:
- at least one in part automated machine operating under program code commands;
- at least one modular charge segment;
- an integrated electrical conductor within the modular charge segment;
- and
- one or more integrated electrical contacts configured for assembly by the at least one in part automated machine.
2 more elements
A method for automated assembly of a modular gun system, the method comprising:
- operating at least one in part automated machine under program code commands;
- coupling an electrical conductor to a charge segment using the at least one in part automated machine;
- loading an explosive charge into the charge segment using the at least one in part automated machine;
- and
- assembling the charge segment into the modular gun system using the least one in part automated machine.
