An orienting tool includes a main body and collar, each connectable and disconnectable to at least one among a first set of interconnected tools and a second set of interconnected tools. In a setup configuration, at least one among the main body and collar, along with a respective tool set connected thereto, are rotatable relative to the other. In an operating configuration, a locking ring allows the main body to be rotationally locked to the collar.

Systems and apparatus for orienting one or more tools in a tool string and methods of manufacture, assembly and use thereof

A downhole perforating gun system provides wireless electrical communication between an inner body conductor, a switch, a detonator, and a feedthrough, and further comprising a weight module and a bearing assembly wherein the weight module is rotatable by a weight via a bearing assembly based on gravity acting on one or more of the weights.

Downhole perforating gun system

A downhole perforating gun system provides wireless electrical communication between an inner body conductor, a switch, a detonator, and a feedthrough. Ends on gun carriers of the system couple together end-to-end at end connections. Internal tapered thread is defined in an interior of each carrier's first end, and external tapered thread is defined externally on each carrier's second end. The internal tapered thread of one carrier can thread to the external tapered thread of another carrier. A metal-to-metal contact and/or an annular seal can seal the carriers' interiors from an external environment, and bulkheads can seal between the carrier's interiors at the end connections. Each bulkhead can have a feedthrough conductor to electrically conduct across the end connections. A bulkhead flange can be captured between a distal face and an internal shoulder at the end connection, and a switch can be disposed on the bulkhead.

Downhole perforating gun system and methods of manufacture, assembly and use

A downhole perforating gun system provides wireless electrical communication between an inner body conductor, a switch, a detonator, and a feedthrough. In this way, the construction of the perforating gun system is simplified and the assembly process is faster, more efficient, and more reliable.

Systems, apparatus and methods useful for increasing the outer diameter of a tool string at a desired location in the tool string involve a spacer tool having a mandrel releasably engageable with at least one other tool of the tool string and a gauge ring distinct from and releasably, non-threadably engageable with the mandrel. The gauge ring extends radially outwardly from the mandrel to provide the spacer tool with a maximum outer diameter that is greater than the maximum outer diameter of at least one other tool in the tool string.
