Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for launching objects into a wellbore. The apparatus generally includes a first object container and a container actuator. The first object container includes first compartments. The container actuator is adapted to displace the first object container so that respective ones of the first compartments are sequentially aligned with an opening. When the respective ones of the first compartments are sequentially aligned with the opening, objects loaded into the respective ones of the first compartments are sequentially launchable through the opening and into the wellbore. In some embodiments, the apparatus further includes a second object container including second compartments and being positionable above the first object container so that the respective second compartments are aligned with the respective first compartments. Objects loaded into respective ones of the second compartments are sequentially launchable through the respective ones of the first compartments, through the opening, and into the wellbore.

Claim (Index 17):
An apparatus, comprising\n a non-transitory computer readable medium; and a plurality of instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium and executable by one or more processors, the plurality of instructions comprising:\n instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to receive from a position sensor, using a controller, data relating to a detected position of a first object container, the first object container including first compartments; and \n instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to send, using the controller and based on at least the data received from the position sensor, control signals to a container actuator, said control signals causing the container actuator to displace the first object container to sequentially align respective ones of the first compartments with an opening so that objects loaded into the respective ones of the first compartments are sequentially launched through the opening and into a wellbore.
