On appelle «torpillage» l'opération qui consiste à faire éclater une forte charge d'explosif dans le forage : 20 à 30 m sont nécessaires entre la charge et le sabot et la dernière colonne. On peut ainsi : - sectionner une colonne, - refouler dans les parois du forage le poisson qu'on ne peut pas retirer, - briser la partie inférieure du train de sonde. 3, record 3, French, - torpillage
