摘要

Finite element method is used to study the formations of the penetration jet,the bulge,and the burr in the designed reusable perforating gun.The attached layer of the soft metal on the perforator is studied for the controlling of the bulge height on the casing of the reusable perforating gun.Results indicate that the shaped charge jet is initially formed in the center of the shaped charge liner and then the material of the liner is driven to the centerline of the liner by the detonation wave.The attachment of the soft metal layer to the cartridge of the perforator can be beneficial to control the bulge height.The design on the blind holes on the casing can affect the burr height formed by the collision between the jet and the casing.With the increase in the liner angle,the penetration width on the cement wall of the wellbore is increased.
