Title: Innovations by Gene T Boop

Introduction

Gene T Boop is a notable inventor based in Ft. Worth, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of oil and gas well completion technology. With a total of five patents to his name, Boop's work has had a considerable impact on the industry.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is the "High temperature selective fire perforating gun and switch therefor." This invention provides a multiple shot selective fire perforating gun designed for piercing oil field tubular goods during the completion of oil or gas wells. The perforating gun features a multiplicity of shaped charges that are fired individually by an associated blasting cap and switch. The switch is configured to disarm all but the lowermost charge until the next lower shaped charge has detonated. The pressure pulse generated from the detonation causes a piston in the switch to compress a flowable material, which then acts on a projectile to arm the associated blasting cap.

Another significant patent is the "Arming device and method." This invention involves an arming and disarming device that is run into a well bore on a wireline. It is part of an explosive tool used to conduct explosive operations in the well bore. In its disarmed configuration, the arming sub separates the hot lead in the wireline from the explosive tool, short-circuiting the hot and ground leads together and connecting them to ground. Hydrostatic pressure applied to the tool while being run into the well bore moves a piston inside the device, ultimately arming the tool.
