摘要： A perforating gun or other downhole tool includes one or more explosive devices that are activable by corresponding one or more initiator devices, such as capacitor discharge units (CDUs). Each CDU includes an explosive foil initiator (EFI) or some other type of a high-energy bridge-type initiator, an energy source (e.g., a slapper capacitor), and a switch coupling the energy source and the EFI or other bridge-type initiator. An electrical cable is coupled to the CDUs for providing a voltage to energize the energy source in the CDUs to provide energy to each EFI. In response to activation of a trigger signal down the electrical cable, the switch is closed to couple the energy source to the EFI.

摘要： A firing head for a firing system adapted for use in a perforating gun includes an outer pressure bulkhead housing which simultaneously conducts two separate and independent currents: a wireline current from a wireline and a return current from an initiator embodied in the firing head. A fire set circuit provides a discharge pulse to the firing head, and a wireline conductor cable provides a wireline current to the fire set circuit. The firing head includes an outer pressure bulkhead housing adapted for conducting the wireline current from the wireline conductor cable to the fire set circuit, and an exploding foil initiator (EFI) responsive to the discharge pulse from the fire set circuit for initiating the detonation of a secondary explosive. The discharge pulse energizing the firing head passes through the exploding foil initiator (EFI) and emerges from the EFI as an EFI return current. As a result, the outer pressure bulkhead housing of the firing head conducts two separate and independent currents: the EFI return current from the EFI to a ground potential, and the wireline current from the wireline conductor cable to the fire set circuit.
