Method and apparatus for setting downhole plugs and other objects in wellbores

A wireline conveyed, gas driven setting tool configured to set downhole tools including, without limitation, frac plugs, bridge plugs, cement retainers and packers. The setting tool is functioned by selectively igniting a power charge inside of a firing head. As the power charge burns, it generates gas that acts upon a piston area to stroke the setting tool. A dampening media, as well an optimized flow area at or near the distal end of the setting tool, act to slow the setting stroke.

Method for performing downhole remedial cementing operations

PCT designated stage expiredWO2025144074A1Sealing/packingHydraulic cylinderWell cementing
The invention relates to a method for performing downhole remedial cementing operations. A module with hydraulic cylinders is installed at a wellhead and then lowered into the wellbore, said module being mounted on a tubing string and being connected to a plug-packer having a fixed mandrel and movable parts. When a given depth is reached, excess pressure is generated in the tubing, causing the hydraulic cylinders to move downwards in relation to the fixed mandrel and to apply a force to the movable parts of the plug-packer. Next, a module with hydraulic cylinders and a cementing retainer-packer having a fixed mandrel and movable parts is lowered on the tubing. When a given depth is reached, excess pressure is generated in the tubing, causing the hydraulic cylinders to move downwards in relation to the fixed mandrel and to apply a force to the movable parts of the cementing retainer-packer. Next, via the installed cementing retainer-packer, a sealing material in the form of a cement composition is introduced under pressure with the guaranteed penetration thereof into holes made by a perforator. The result is an increase in the efficiency, versatility and safety with which downhole remedial cementing operations are performed.
