Perforation trigger bypass assembly and method

A perforation trigger bypass conduit assembly for use with a down-hole completion assembly including a casing, a tubular completion assembly positioned in said casing, a pump operably supported on said tubular completion assembly, a perforation gun assembly positioned in said casing at a down-hole location remote from said tubular completion assembly, a pressure sensing device mounted proximate and coupled to trigger said perforation gun assembly, and a fluid pressure transmitting bypass conduit coupling said pump to said sensing device, said bypass conduit assembly comprising:

• a housing assembly mounted to said tubular completion assembly and defining a bore extending therethrough for fluid communication between said casing and said pump assembly, said housing being formed with a housing passageway therethrough;
• a severable conduit coupled to one end of said housing passageway and coupled at an opposite end to said sensor;
• a removable member dimensioned for sliding receipt in said housing bore and formed with a member passageway therethrough communicably coupled to said housing passageway whereby said member passageway, housing passageway and severable conduit transmit pressure from a discharge end of said pump to said sensor.

A method of preventing discharge of a pumped fluid, from a fluid line coupled to a tubular completion, back into a formation upon perforation of a down-hole completion assembly comprising the step of:

• after perforation of said down-hole completion assembly using a perforation gun positioned down-hole from said tubular completion, blocking a bypass conduit assembly, providing fluid communication between said tubular completion and said perforation gun for triggering thereof, to prevent communication of pumped fluid from said fluid line into said formation in the event of severing of a portion of said bypass conduit assembly during detonation of said perforation gun.
