Abstract
Example apparatus, methods, and systems described for cutting tubulars in a downhole environment. In an example apparatus, energetic cutters are housed within a carrier. In some embodiments, the carrier is a cylindrical, tubular member. Radial energetic cutters are positioned at the ends of the carrier and linear energetic cutters are positioned between the radial energetic cutters. Initiation of the energetic cutters results in tubular fragments that fall downhole.
