There is a detonator category almost unknown outside of the oil exploration industry. It is a special type of product designed for use in the high temperature/high pressure deep underground environment to initiate oil well perforators, a special type of conical shaped charge used to break through a steel well casing. Oil well detonators often have composite shells of aluminum and brass, frequently have two or three steps to the shell, and often have multiple holes through the shell.

Securesearch, Inc. offers several types of inert oil well detonators made by major manufacturers, and inert replicas made by our company.
