A wireless detonator system wherein a blast control unit communicates bidirectionally with at least one tagger and with detonators, prior to deployment thereof, using a NFC technique, and a transmitter/receiver assembly communicates with each detonator a tan ultralow frequency.

The present disclosure relates to a blasting system, the blasting system including: a drilling device configured to form blasting holes on a blasting target on the basis of a blasting design map; a charging device configured to place explosives in the blasting holes; detonators configured to detonate the explosives; a central control unit configured to confirm a position of a worker in real time, the worker driving the detonators; and a worker terminal configured to transmit worker position information to the central control unit, the worker position information indicating the worker position. The blasting system of the present disclosure can automatically connect the detonator to the central control unit, and improve worker convenience of the blasting work.

Provided is a blasting system including a first detonator and a second detonator and a user terminal. The user terminal performs wireless communications with the first detonator and wired communications with the second detonator. Each of the first detonator and the second detonator includes an electric detonator storing detonator information, in which the electric detonator ignites an explosive in response to a blasting command, a connector connecting the electric detonator to the user terminal via a wireless or wired communication means, and a wiring portion connecting the electric detonator and the connector.

A detonator which is initiated by a shock tube event which is validated if a processor determines that a fusible link was not fused by a shock tube event at a predetermined time interval before light generated by the shock tube event is detected.

The present disclosure relates to a detonation connector having an electric wire mounting structure, the detonation connector includes: an electrically conductive wire-connecting bracket member having a plurality of electric wire mounting gloves to which a leg line or a leading line is mounted; a lower casing member at which the wire-connecting bracket member is positioned; and an upper casing member covering the lower casing member, wherein the lower casing member may be provided with an opening through which a leg line passes, and the lower casing member is provided with a leg line mounting part therein. Accordingly, a stable connection state in the connector is maintained by fixing a double coated electric wire or a single coated electric wire in a state of being mounted to an opening of the detonation connector and the connection stability and the connection reliability of the leg line and the leading line are secured.

A gun tube for a downhole perforating gun assembly includes a body having a cavity and one or more weights in the cavity. Gravity acts on the weights, which causes the tube body to rotate around its longitudinal axis so the weights are adjacent the lower part of the wellbore in which the gun assembly is positioned when oriented horizontally. This position shape charges in the gun tube in a desired position prior to the shape charges being fired. The gun tube may also include one or more end connectors with electrical contacts having a first, extended position, and a second, contracted position, and/or end connectors that can be assembled by hand without the use of tools.

A safety arrangement for a wireless blasting system which includes a plurality of wireless detonator assemblies located at a blast zone wherein each route which provides access to the blast zone is monitored to detect removal of a wireless detonator assembly which is in an operative mode from the blast zone.

A method and apparatus for providing a universal plug in cartridge detonator capability in box-by-box perforating guns.
