Abstract
An explosive booster which contains a secondary high explosive material of such density that it is capable of receiving a detonation from one secondary high explosive mass, across a discontinuity, and of then detonating and transmitting the detonation to another secondary high explosive mass. The explosive booster is produced by compacting the secondary high explosive material to a density such that the booster is capable of acting as both an acceptor and donor of a detonation. The explosive booster may be used to transfer a detonation from one secondary high explosive mass to another such mass as for example in detonating a string of perforating guns within wellbores in the oil and gas industry.
