Perforating system comprising an energetic material

摘要

A perforating system, including a shaped charge assembly comprising a charge case, a liner, and a main body of explosive. The material of the perforating system components, including the gun body, the charge case and the liner may be comprised of an energetic material that conflagrates upon detonation of the shaped charge. The material may be an oxidizer, tungsten, cement particles, rubber compounds, compound fibers, KEVLAR®, steel, steel alloys, zinc, and combinations thereof.

1. A perforating system comprising:
a gun body having an annular shape and comprising an energetic material having propellant; a gun tube in the gun body comprising the energetic material; an amount of magnesium in the gun body; and a shaped charge disposed in an annulus of the gun body comprising a charge case, a liner, and explosive between the charge case and liner so that when the explosive is detonated, the energetic material and the magnesium in the gun body changes a form of the gun body and the gun tube from a solid material to a substantially vapor phase thereby causing the gun body and the gun tube to disappear after the explosive is detonated.
