A modular initiator assembly comprising a receptacle and connector combination adapted to shunt the electrical contacts of the initiator as a default condition and to only unshunt the electrical contacts coupled to the initiator when the receptacle and connector establish a fully seated connection.

Embodiments of the disclosure are associated with an autonomous wellbore tool that includes a plug assembly and a positioning system. The positioning system may be provided on the plug assembly. According to an aspect, the positioning system includes a distance measurement system.

A perforating gun for use in oil and gas operations. The gun is carried to a desired area of a wellbore using only fluid pressure. The gun comprises a charge housing disposed within a removable sleeve. The charge housing comprises a plurality of shaped charges in communication with one or more sensors. The sensors are programmed to initiate the detonation sequence of the shaped charges upon measuring set parameters. Upon detonation, the gun fragments into a plurality of pieces that may be washed away from the detonation site.

A detonator module provides for the use of a wide range of different addressable switches for use in perforating guns. The detonator module permits pre-assembly of a desired addressable switch and conforms the electrical connectivity to a particular perforating gun. In this manner, nearly any addressable switch can be used from any manufacturer despite having different sizes or wiring layouts. The pre-assembled detonator module can be safely shipped due to a safety shunt that can be removed on site prior to installation into a perforating gun. In one sense, the detonator module permits conformance of multiple different types of addressable switches to a particular type or model of perforating gun, permitting flexible choice of addressable switch for a particular project.
