Abstract
A downhole system for conveying an explosive tool within a wellbore and reducing damage to other tools of the downhole system. The downhole system comprises a downhole tool string configured for conveyance within a wellbore, wherein the downhole tool string comprises upper tools, a lower tool comprising an explosive charge, and a sub between the upper tools and the lower tool. The sub is configured to attenuate a shock wave caused by the explosive charge when detonated to thereby reduce damage to the upper tools caused by the shock wave. The sub comprises an axial bore and a plurality of radial bores extending between the axial bore and a space external to the sub.
