to be made when the perforation gun is at the proper depth the shaped charges 30 will be detonated thereby perforating the wellbore alternative embodiments of eccentrically loading a perforating gun include introducing a semi cylindrical gun tube that is asymmetric about its longitudinal axis the asymmetry of the gun tube in and of itself eccentrically weights the perforating gun so that when non vertical the perforating gun will rotate in response to gravitational pulls on the eccentric loading another alternative embodiment involves creating longitudinal recesses along sections of the gun tube 21 and adding metal rods or bars into those recesses the presence of the metal rods or bars will produce an asymmetry that also can rotate the perforating gun however the recesses should be located in the same hemispherical section of the gun tube 21 to produce an eccentrically loaded situation a yet additional alternative embodiment exists where asymmetry of the gun body 20 is developed by securing the gun tube 21 inside of the gun body 20 at or proximate to the inner circumference gun body 20 and not coaxial within the gun body 20 the present invention described herein therefore is well adapted to carry out the objects and attain the ends and advantages mentioned as well as others inherent therein while a presently preferred embodiment of the invention has been given for purposes of disclosure numerous changes in the details of procedures for accomplishing the desired results such as the utilization of non metallic materials in the construction of the weight 40 additionally the device and method described herein is suitable for use in any type of well such as a water well and is.
