English term or phrase: shaped charge
Definition from army-technology.com:
A shaped charge is an explosive which has been shaped in such a way that when detonated the energy of the explosion is channeled in one direction.

Example sentence(s):
  • Conventional shaped charges are constructed with a charge case, a hollow conical liner within the case, and a high explosive material positioned between the liner and case. globalsecurity.org
  • Shaped charges were first developed after World War I to penetrate tanks and other armored equipment. Their most extensive use today is in the oil and gas industry where they open up the rock around drilled wells. llnl.gov
  • This source has been used since 1971 in routine seismic operation in the Amazon jungle with 300 gram unit charges distributed in small and large shot arrays increasing substantially the coverage and halving the cost at a higher record quality. A large amount of production seismic field work has been carried out in several other areas attesting the successful application of the shaped charges. Wiley InterScience

Example sentence(s):
  • De theorie van de holle lading is reeds bekend sedert 1883 en toen beschreven door de Amerikaan C.E. Monroe, alhoewel ze voor het eerst militair werd gebruikt door de Duitse troepen bij de aanval op het fort Eben-Emael op 10 mei 1940, tijdens Fall Gelb. - Wikipedia

Definition from Wikipedia:
De holle lading is een bepaalde vorm die aan een explosief gegeven kan worden, die veel toegepast wordt bij antitankwapens.

Example sentence(s):
  • Dit is de reden dat de holle lading sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog bij bijna alle projectielen gebruikt wordt die aan hun bewegingsenergie niet genoeg hebben: werpmijnen en projectielen gebruikt door terugslagloze kanonnen (zoals de Panzerfaust) en raketwerpers en geleide antitankraketten. Maar ook antitankgranaten die door (anti)tankkanonnen worden afgeschoten, maken vaak van dit principe gebruik, alsmede clusterbommen en antitankmijnen. - Wikipedia  
  • De eerste holleladingswapens waren nog primitief en hadden de vorm van een halve bol. - Wikipedia  

Explanation:
Voor de militaire context is dit een gebruikelijke vertaling. Echter, voor de olie- en gasindustrie ben ik niet zeker.
