Abstract
In tubing conveyed perforating well completion operations, shaped charge detonation is achieved by dropping a detonating bar in the tubing string. Velocity of the detonating bar is controlled by placing a column of standing fluid above the tubing conveyed perforating assembly. This apparatus and method isolate a column of standing fluid. Moreover, invasion by a well fluid is prevented to assure that the retardation characteristics of the standing fluid are not changed by invading well fluids. The apparatus includes a tubing string pressure isolation piston assembly slidable within a sleeve and a frangible closure disk broken by the detonating bar; the isolation tool further includes check valve means controllably venting fluid pressure across the valve means.
