Well Perforating Apparatus

Abstract

An improved well perforating apparatus comprising: a one or more rounded scallops in a perforating gun body of a perforating gun; said one or more rounded scallops comprising a cut away portion of said perforating gun body having a bore portion and a rim; and said rim comprising a bore angle between said bore portion and said perforating gun body.

1 . An improved well perforating apparatus comprising:
 a one or more rounded scallops in a perforating gun body of a perforating gun;   said one or more rounded scallops comprising a cut away portion of said perforating gun body having a bore portion and a rim;   said rim comprising a bore angle between said bore portion and said perforating gun body;   said bore angle comprises an angle of about forty-five degrees;   said rim protects users of said perforating gun from harming themselves when handling said perforating gun;   a burr is cut into said perforating gun body below said bore portion;   said bore is cut into said perforating gun body with a cutter comprising a blade by rotating said blade at various depths into said perforating gun body;   said blade comprises a rounded edge corresponding to a rounded cut at said bore portion; and   said one or more rounded scallops are arranged on said perforating gun body in a helical pattern.   
     
     
         2 . An improved well perforating apparatus comprising:
 a one or more rounded scallops in a perforating gun body of a perforating gun;   said one or more rounded scallops comprising a cut away portion of said perforating gun body having a bore portion and a rim; and   said rim comprising a bore angle between said bore portion and said perforating gun body.   
     
     
         3 . The improved well perforating apparatus of  claim 2  wherein:
 said bore angle comprises an angle between fifteen degrees and seventy-five degrees. 
 
     
     
         4 . The improved well perforating apparatus of  claim 2  wherein:
 said bore angle comprises an angle of about forty-five degrees. 
 
     
     
         5 . The improved well perforating apparatus of  claim 2  wherein:
 said rim protects users of said perforating gun from harming themselves when handling said perforating gun. 
 
     
     
         6 . The improved well perforating apparatus of  claim 2  further comprising a burr. 
     
     
         7 . The improved well perforating apparatus of  claim 6  wherein said burr is cut into said perforating gun body below said bore portion. 
     
     
         8 . The improved well perforating apparatus of  claim 2  wherein:
 said bore is cut into said perforating gun body with a cutter comprising a blade by rotating said blade at various depths into said perforating gun body. 
 
     
     
         9 . The improved well perforating apparatus of  claim 8  wherein
 said blade comprises a rounded edge corresponding to a rounded cut at said bore portion. 
 
     
     
         10 . The improved well perforating apparatus of  claim 2  wherein said one or more rounded scallops are arranged on said perforating gun body in a helical pattern.
