ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for firing perforating apparatus in a borehole. A pressure actuated firing assembly is run into the borehole on th eend of a cable and latched onto a perforating apparatus. The cable is removed and pressure is applied to the tubing annulus. At a predetermined pressure the firing asembly is armed. After arming pressure is released from the tubing annulus during a time delay period before the firing assembly impacts a percussion firing head to thereby detonate the perforating apparatus.
