Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oil well setting tools, in particular to a setting tool. Background Art
[0002] A setting tool is a device used in downhole operations in oil and gas wells. It is primarily used to set tools such as packers and bridge plugs in predetermined locations to achieve stratified production or containment of oil, gas, and water. The performance of the setting tool directly impacts the effectiveness and safety of downhole operations.
[0003] Explosive perforation is a common method used in oil and gas well development. Its purpose is to penetrate the formation, allowing oil and gas to flow into the wellbore. However, the shock waves generated by explosive perforation can affect downhole equipment, particularly packers. Packers isolate the wellbore during different operation phases, protecting the boundary between the oil and gas formation and the wellbore to prevent contamination and accidents. Explosive perforation can cause packer sealing and positioning failures, compromising operational safety and efficiency. Utility Model Content
