EXPLOSIVES

11. There are two types of explosives used in the Project. One type is to be used in the down-hole logging process and the other, known as a Colliding Detonation Cutter (CDC) is used to cut the Sea Riser casing at the sea floor at the end of the drilling. Both explosive types are stored in the explosives wannigan, NZX2, on Cape Roberts. The wannigan is kept locked. The detonators are stored in a clearly marked wooden box at the rear of the red storage container. The people responsible for the explosives are Jim Cowie and Alex Pyne.

12. During drilling one CDC and a small number of detonators are kept at the Drill Site. The detonators are in a small red box and the CDC in a wooden box (1m × 150mm × 150mm). Both are clearly labelled. At the Drill Site Alex Pyne is responsible for these explosives.
