Detonator Structure And System

摘要

A technique facilitates controlled detonation in well environments and other types of environments. Electronics for controlling detonation of a pellet of explosive material are mounted on a structure, such as a circuit board. The pellet is operatively coupled with the electronics and positioned to extend outwardly from the structure. Another explosive component is arranged across the pellet at a predetermined angle, e.g. a right angle, with respect to a longitudinal axis of the pellet. In well applications or other applications utilizing shaped charges, the explosive component may be coupled to the shaped charge via a detonator cord.

主权项

1. A system for perforating, comprising:
a perforating gun having a shaped charge; a detonator cord coupled to the shaped charge; and a detonator system coupled to the detonator cord to initiate detonation of the detonator cord for ultimate detonation of the shaped charge, the detonator system comprising:
a circuit board lying generally along a plane and having electronics;a first explosive component engaged with the electronics and extending from the circuit board; anda second explosive component engaged with the first explosive component at approximately a right angle with respect to the first explosive component, the electronics being controlled to initiate explosion of the first explosive component which, in turn, initiates explosion of the is second explosive component to cause detonation of the detonating cord and the shaped charge.
