A device for the controlled initiation of a subdetonative reaction of an explosive charge arranged in a shell includes at least one explosive charge core extending in a region of a longitudinal axis of the explosive charge. A transverse dimension of the explosive charge core is adaptable to a radial extent of the shell in a longitudinal direction of the explosive charge, while a charging of the explosive charge core is set homogeneously or locally variably over a length of the explosive charge core with respect to a type of explosive material.

The present disclosure relates to a novel compound suitable for a metal-free primary explosive, and the method of making and using the novel compound. The novel compound can undergo a deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) to initiate detonation of a larger body of secondary explosive. The compound has a structure of Formula I:

##STR00001##

Included are methods and systems for oilfield perforating. An example system includes a firing head subassembly; a gun subassembly; and 4,10-dinitro-2,6,8,12-tetraoxa-4,10-diazatetracyclo[5.5.0.0.sup.5,9.0.sup.3,11]-dodecane (“TEX”). An example method includes lowering a perforating system into a casing of a wellbore, wherein the perforating system comprises TEX; detonating the TEX; and perforating the casing.

Embodiments include a method of forming an initiator. The method includes placing an energetic powder in a container. A solvent is added to the container and the solvent and energetic powder are mixed to form a slurry mixture. The slurry mixture is filtered. The filtered slurry mixture is placed in a transfer tube. The slurry mixture is applied to a bridge wire. The slurry mixture applied to the bridge wire is then dried.
