A shaped charge assembly for perforating a wellbore tubular and a subterranean formation intersected by a wellbore may include a first shaped charge and a second shaped charge disposed on an outer surface of the wellbore tubular. The first shaped charge points radially outward toward the formation, and the second shaped charge points radially inward toward the wellbore tubular.

Bi-directional shaped charges for perforating a wellbore

An apparatus for perforating a subterranean formation may include a casing, an energetic material, a liner, and an acid-generating material. The casing may have a slotted end configured to receive a detonator cord, and an open end. The energetic material may be disposed in the open end and in ballistic. The liner may enclose the open end, and the liner may include an acid-generating material that is configured to form an acid upon detonation of the explosive material.

System and method for enhanced wellbore perforations

A method for perforating a subterranean formation includes positioning a shaped charge and a reactant composite material in a carrier; positioning the carrier in the wellbore; detonating the shaped charge; and disintegrating the reactant composite material using a shock generated by the detonated shaped charge. The method may also include initiating a first deflagration by using carbon and heat resulting from the detonation of the shaped charge and an oxygen component of the disintegrated reactant composite material. A system for performing the method may include a carrier, a shaped charge positioned in the carrier; and a reactant composite material positioned in the carrier. The reactant composite material may be configured to disintegrate upon detonation of the shaped charge.
