Abstract: A shock absorber assembly includes a damping mechanism that adjusts to compensate for operation at elevated temperatures. A member made of two dissimilar materials permanently bonded together with one material having a higher expansion coefficient than the other material provides a biased response toward the material with the lower expansion coefficient. This biased response compensates for incremental pressure changes in the shock absorber due to operation at elevate temperatures to provide constant damping regardless of temperature.

Title: Full bore automatic gun release module
Inventor: ROSS COLBY W
IPC: E21B23/02
Filed: 2001-11-15
Abstract: A perforation gun (10) is secured to the inside bore of a well completion tu be (30) by a releasable connection module (20). The connection module mechanism  includes radially expanding anchor dogs (46) that are retained at an expande d position by a latching mechanism that may be released, alternatively, by combustion gas or by wireline. When the perforation gun (10) is discharged, gas from the discharge combustion displaces a retaining piston (54). Displacement of the retaining piston (54) releases a latch pin (56) and allo ws the gun weight to shift a secondary release sleeve (40). Shift of the secondary release sleeve (40) releases a latch dog retention pin (38) and hence, releases the anchor dogs (46) from a meshed connection with the completion tube (30). The secondary release sleeve (40) may also be shifted by the upward pull of a wireline.
