Patent attributes
A firing assembly is configured to be contained in a recess formed in a wall of a tubular string subassembly and operates without blockage of the central core of the casing subassembly. The assembly can include: one or more casings connected together to form a firing head containment body, the firing head containment body comprising a detonation chamber and actuation chamber; a detonator configured in the detonation chamber; a moveable actuator configured in the actuation chamber and operatively connected to the detonator, wherein the actuator is retained in a first position in the actuation chamber by a retention detent; a coupler operatively connected to the actuator opposite the detonator, wherein the coupler comprises a channel for communicating pressure through the coupler to the actuator that overcomes the retention detent and allows the actuator to move in the actuation chamber to as second position, wherein the detonator activates in dependence upon the actuator moving to the second position.
