The Company Dynamit Nobel has been producing detonating cords, detonators (Z-480) and seismic explosives for oil-field use for decades, but since 1994 more emphasis has been put on this product line. Since then other types of cord and detonators have been added as well as bi-directional boosters and shaped charges. Also Dynamit Nobel designs, optimizes and manufacture exclusive dedicated products at request.

Detonators for Oilfield Use
Success and safety in any perforating system depends to a large extent on the proper choice of detonators. Detonators manufactured by Dynamit Nobel meet the most demanding requirements of modern perforating techniques. They are the result of many years intense research work and offer maximum efficiency combined with exceptionally high quality and the maximum degree of safety. The initiation system is the heart of every perforating run in which a principle factor in cost effectiveness is reliability.

Detonating Cords for Oilfield Use
The DYNAWELL detonating cords are specifically developed to cover both encapsulated perforating systems and high shot density perforating systems. This product utilizes RDX, HMX or HNS optimized to a high detonating velocity. The PT cord is covered in a pressure- and temperature resistant PA, PVC, PVDF or FEP jacket. It can be used in the presence of caustic fluids, at high temperature and pressure.

Bi-Directional Boosters for Oilfield Use
The DYNAWELL Bi -Directional Booster is specially developed to cover all TCP Gun applications. This product utilizes HMX or HNS optimized for maximum explosive energy transfer over a given air gap. An inner sleeve protects the explosive powder.

Perforating Charges for Oilfield Use
Dynawell Perforating Charges are manufactured on the world's most modern automated production plant. Production quality is controlled to the highest industry standards and supervised by a team of qualified engineers. For trace ability each charge is marked with date of manufacture, explosive and charge type.

Percussion Initiators for Oilfield Use

Powders
In addition to to the oilfield detonators, detonating cords, boosters, percussion initiators and charges for perforating applications, Dynamit Nobel also manufactures HNS bulk powder.
