    Abstract: A shaped charge is configured to make a non-circular perforation into a casing. The shaped charge includes a case having a side wall that extends between an open top region and a base; an asymmetric initiation insert configured to fit within the case; an explosive material placed over the asymmetric initiation insert and in contact with the side wall of the case; and a liner placed over the explosive material, to hold the explosive material within the case. The asymmetric initiation insert has a body that includes first and second channels that extend from a bottom surface to a top surface of the body, so that a detonation at the bottom surface is directed to first and second initiation points, that correspond to the first and second channels.

    Abstract: A perforating gun system with at least one gun. Each of the perforating guns have charges disposed in a gun carrier that are angled to the longitudinal axis of the gun to achieve a predetermined proppant transport profile into clusters within a stage in a well casing. The perforation tunnels may also have burrs on each side of the casing and acts in initially aiding proppant transport during fracture treatment. A method of tuning a cluster to achieve a desired fracturing treatment based on a feedback from another cluster includes selecting a hole diameter, a hole angle for creating an angled opening, a discharge coefficient, and a proppant efficiency. Moreover, a method of improving perforation charge efficiency.

    Abstract: A shaped charge includes a casing defining an interior volume, wherein the casing is prepared by sintering a metal powder or a mixture of metal powders; a liner located in the interior volume; and an explosive between the liner and the casing. A method for manufacturing a shaped charge casing includes the steps of mixing a metal powder or a metal powder mixture with a binder to form a pre-mix; pressing the pre-mix in a mold to form a casing green body; heating the casing green body to a first temperature to vaporize the binder; raising the temperature to a second temperature in an inert or reducing atmosphere to sinter the metal powder or the metal powder mixture to produce the shaped charge casing.

    Abstract: This invention is an array of liners in an axilinear shaped charge device, such as a multiple component axilinear fluted linear liner that will be mated to high explosive that is housed in a single common containment body or a circular configuration of a six segment fluted Axilinear liner, which will be mated to high explosive and housed in a single common containment body. This connected liner variation of the Axilinear device can be straight, circular or in a curved spline arrangement, and each component of this novel Linear device can be on the path line of the spline or staggered about the path line, furthermore the orientation of the planer collapse of the fluted wing segments can be other than parallel or tangent to the spline path.
