First Claim
Patent Images
1. A perforating gun system comprising:
- at least two gun sections coupled together, one of the at least two gun sections configured to be angularly offset relative to another of the at least two gun sections;
wherein during use each of the at least two gun sections is configured to be movable in succession to a predetermined position, when deployed in a well casing.

Abstract
A perforating gun system having gun sections coupled together with adapters. Each of the gun sections are adjustable to be offset relative to one another and each gun section is also decentralized with respect to the inside diameter of the wellbore casing. Each of the gun sections are movable in succession to an interval in the wellbore casing to create perforations such that the percentage of the casing openings is large for substantial fluid flow. The alignment and diameters of the gun sections are chosen to occupy the entire inner diameter of the casing.

28. A perforating method comprising the steps of:
-
(1) providing a perforating gun system comprising at least two gun sections coupled together, one of the at least two gun sections configured to be angularly offset relative to another of the at least two gun sections; (2) deploying the gun system into a well casing; (3) positioning a first gun section of the at least two gun sections at the predetermined position in the well casing; (4) perforating the interval with the first gun section; (5) moving a next gun section in the at least two gun sections to the predetermined position in the well casing; (6) perforating the predetermined position with a next gun section; and (7) repeating steps (5) and (6) until all the gun sections perforate at the predetermined position. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
