Abstract

An apparatus for perforating a tubular member (10) extending into a wellbore, comprising at least one explosive charge (18) in contact with the wall of said tubular member. For each explosive charge there is provided a detonation device arranged to detonate the explosive charge. A remote control station is in wireless and cable less communication with the detonation device whereby a signal from said control station causes said detonation device to detonate the respective explosive charge.
