Abstract
A method for detonation of a plug device in a fluid environment is described, which is in contact with a body, such as an ignition pellet, and it is characterized in that a number of pressure increases are exerted against the plug device, whereby each pressure increase causes a movement of a piston () which is radially arranged in a casing (), which causes the casing () to move a fixed distance inward in the plug device with each pressure increase, up until the displacement of the casing () causes the piston to be displaced into a cavity (), and the fluid environment enters the plug device via an inlet. Also described is a plug device which is in contact with a body, such as an ignition pellet, where the plug device is arranged to detonate after a number of pressure increases that are exerted against the plug device. The plug device/ignition pellet can be applied to initiate a detonation process which leads to perforation of a pipe wall or to perforate or remove/explode plugs in oil wells or gas wells, thereby starting production from a reservoir through a pipe.
