Hydraulic cylinder apparatus, including a ram and attached piercing element is chained and secured around a perforating gun. A hydraulic cylinder is pressurized to thereby drive the piercing element through the sidewall of the perforating gun. The piercing element is tapered so that it is self-sealing during penetration of the gun sidewall. The piercing element is allowed to retract in a controlled manner so as to control the depressurization of the perforating gun.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 21, 1989. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 21, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 21, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
