Abstract
An explosive assembly for a downhole tool operable to connect and selectively disconnect within a wellbore a first portion of a downhole tool string and a second portion of the downhole tool string. The explosive assembly includes an explosive charge, a detonator switch operable to detonate the explosive charge, and a housing assembly containing the explosive charge and the detonator switch. The explosive assembly may be movable as a single unit and installable within an internal space of the downhole tool. The explosive charge may be operable to sever a support member of the downhole tool when the explosive charge is detonated by the detonator switch to therefore disconnect a first portion of the downhole tool and a second portion of the downhole tool from each other and thus disconnect the first portion of the downhole tool string and the second portion of the downhole tool string from each other.
