ABSTRACT:
In a perforating apparatus which has a plurality of explosive charges contained in an elongated tubular perforating gun body and supported on a carrier an energy absorber and explosive charge holder are provided by the present invention. The carrier extends longitudinally in the gun body and has the cases of the explosive charges mounted therethrough with a detonating cord or prima cord positioned at the detonating end portion of the several explosives charges. The energy absorber and explosive charge holder comprises a shaped metallic shield that grasps sides of an explosive charges case to secure it in a rigid fixed position on the carrier. An aperture in this shield permits passage of the detonating cord over the detonating end portion of the charge case and retention of it at that location. The shield encircles the detonating end portion of the explosive charge case and covers sides of the case such that upon detonation of the explosive charge laterally directed energy from the growth of the explosion is absorbed by the shield.
