First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for use in a wellbore, comprising:
- lowering a tool having a heat insulating container and an explosive into the wellbore, wherein the heat insulating container has an inner space and a structure defining a vacuum layer, the tool further having a reflective layer arranged on a surface of the heat insulating container to reflect heat for reducing heat radiation from the wellbore into the inner space, and a signal-activated detonator provided in the inner space of the heat insulating container; and
activating the signal-activated detonator to cause detonation of the explosive.

Abstract
An apparatus for use in a wellbore comprises a heat insulating container having an inner space and having a structure defining a hollow containing a vacuum. The apparatus further comprises a reflective layer arranged on a surface of the heat insulating container to reflect heat for reducing radiated heat originated in the wellbore from reaching the inner space. Also, a signal-activated detonator is provided in the inner space of the heat insulating container.
