Selective perforation of multiple well zones

Multiple zones in a well can be selectively perforated either simultaneously, or in series, by using a system including a tubing string (24) which carries at least a first (56) and a second (76) perforating gun; at least a first (52) and a second (72) pressure actuated firing head associated with th...

Zusammenfassung:	Multiple zones in a well can be selectively perforated either simultaneously, or in series, by using a system including a tubing string (24) which carries at least a first (56) and a second (76) perforating gun; at least a first (52) and a second (72) pressure actuated firing head associated with the first (56) and second (76) perforating guns, respectively; first (30) and second (66) packers for isolating the perforating guns from each other; and a first selective communication device (83,85,87) for isolating the second firing head (72) from a source of actuating fluid pressure until after the first perforating gun (56) has been fired, and for then communicating the second firing had (72) with a source of actuating fluid pressure in response to firing of the first perforating gun (56).
