Abstract: A well tool for generating a shaped perforation in a cased wellbore includes a tool body. The told body has at least one wall, a fluid channel, a first perforation device, and a second perforation device. The at least one wall defines an opening and an interior volume. The fluid channel extends from the opening of the at least one wall into the interior volume. The first perforation device is configured to form a perforation tunnel in the cased wellbore disposed in a formation. The second perforation device is coupled to the first perforation device and to the fluid channel. The second perforation device is configured to form the shaped perforation in the formation by flowing fluid received through the fluid channel to the formation through the perforation tunnel.

Abstract: A well tool for generating a notch in an open-hole wellbore, includes a tool body having a housing defining at least one slot and an interior volume. The tool body includes a cutting device disposed in the interior volume, configured to form a notch in a formation. The cutting device includes a shaft disposed in the interior volume of the housing having a first portion with a first exterior threads that extend around the first portion in a first direction, and a second portion having second exterior threads that extend around the second portion in a second direction opposite the first direction. The cutting device includes multiple blades configured to extend radially outward toward the formation through the slot or inward away from the formation and having a first blade extending from the first portion of the shaft and a second blade extending from a second portion of the shaft.
