A ballistically-safe wellbore tool may include an explosive device, an initiator including an initiating charge, and a bias member. A relative configuration of the explosive device and the initiator may be switchable between a first configuration, in which the initiating charge is at a ballistically safe distance from the explosive device, and a second configuration, in which the initiating charge is within a ballistically operable distance from the explosive device. The bias member is configured to bias the explosive device and the initiator to the first configuration.

A self-erecting launcher assembly includes a mobile unit, and a magazine positioned in a receptacle of the mobile unit. The magazine includes a plurality of drones. A rail unit is secured to the mobile unit and moves between a closed position and an elevated position. A platform may be secured to the rail unit and is movable in an upward direction and a downward direction along a length of the rail unit. The platform is movable when the rail unit is in its elevated position. The magazine or the plurality of drones may be positioned on the platform, such that the platform moves the magazine or the plurality of drones from the mobile unit to at least one wellhead. A manipulator arm is secured to the platform and selects a drone of the plurality of drones and delivers the selected drone into a lubricator positioned at the wellhead.

An adapter assembly may include a tandem seal adapter (TSA) and a collar. The TSA may include a TSA body extending along an axial direction. The collar may include a collar body, a first collar coupling, and a second collar coupling. The collar body may be a substantially annular shape extending in the axial direction. The collar may be outward from the TSA in a radial direction. The first collar coupling and the second collar coupling axially displaced from the first collar coupling may be provided on an interior surface of the collar body. The TSA body and the collar body may overlap in the axial direction. The first collar coupling, second collar coupling, and the TSA may define a first space respectively configured to receive an end of a first housing of a first wellbore tool and an end of a second housing of a second wellbore tool.
