Abstract
Described herein are methods and apparatus for idling a hydrocarbon well. A downhole tool is described that includes a tubular support and an explosive charge disposed within the tubular support, the explosive charge comprising a casing having the form of a cylinder with a wedge portion removed to form a wedge opening and a shaped charge shaped to fit the wedge opening. Methods described herein include positioning a partial radial cutter near an interior wall of a well completion tubing of a hydrocarbon well at a location opposite from an accessory conduit disposed in the well outside the well completion tubing, with the discharge portion of the partial radial cutter facing the interior wall of the well completion tubing, and discharging the partial radial cutter to penetrate a portion of the interior wall and sever the accessory conduit.
