AN IMPROVED METHOD FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND QUALITY CONTROL OF FLOW-OPTIMIZED SHAPED CHARGES

摘要

An improved test setup facility, referred to as a 'Quick Development Cell' (QDC), which allows for rapid turnaround testing with valuable feedback to a design engineer. Because the QDC allows for quick and efficient testing at a sufficient frequency, QDC tests are compatible with production quality control. In addition to fostering improvement of the API's Section 2 type tests using stressed natural rock for benchmark experiments, the QDC tests allow for progress to be made towards the development of a flow-optimized shape charge and superior well performance.
