Abstract
A cutting device includes a round of shots having a radial shape. Each shot in the round of shots are operable to perforate a wellbore conduit to sever one or more control lines. Each shot in the round of shots overlaps an adjacent shot in the round of shots by an overlap width that is equal to or greater than a width of the one or more control lines such that the round of shots maintains structural integrity of the wellbore conduit.
Claims20
A cutting device comprising:
- a round of shots operable to perforate through a wellbore conduit to sever one or more control lines, each of the round of shots having a radial shape such that each of the round of shots perforates the wellbore conduit along an apex angle,
- wherein each shot of the round of shots overlaps an adjacent shot in the round of shots by an overlap width that is equal to or greater than a line width of the one or more control lines so that any combination of the shot and/or the adjacent shot fully severs the one or more control lines.
A cutting assembly comprising:
- a cutting device including a round of shots operable to perforate through a wellbore conduit to sever one or more control lines, each of the round of shots having a radial shape such that each of the round of shots perforates the wellbore conduit along an apex angle;
- and
- a cutting conduit coupled with the cutting device, the cutting conduit communicably coupled with a trigger operable to activate each of the round of shots;
- wherein each shot of the round of shots overlaps an adjacent shot in the round of shots by an overlap width that is equal to or greater than a line width of the one or more control lines so that any combination of the shot and/or the adjacent shot fully severs the one or more control lines.
