Abstract
A tandem sub for a perforating gun assembly. The perforating gun assembly is used in a wellbore completion operation. The tandem sub first comprises a tubular body. The tubular body has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and connection threads residing at each of the first and second ends. The tubular body has an internal bore, and tapered shoulders residing along the internal bore proximate each end. Each tapered shoulder defines an angle relative to the central axis of the internal bore. Further, each tapered shoulder forms a race dimensioned and configured to receive roller bearings. The roller bearings may be part of a grounding path. A cage secures the roller bearings against the race.
