Reliable, low-risk alternative to explosives

The setting tool of the The ReSOLVE Family™ instrumented wireline intervention service is deployed using the standard 3 1/8-in ReSOLVE™ instrumented wireline intervention service and the 2 1/8-in ReSOLVE iX™ intelligent extreme wireline intervention service for high performance in hostile environments, including high-pressure, deviated, restricted access, and sour well conditions. 

The nonexplosive setting tool is hydraulically powered, providing a large force of up to 78,000 lbf [347,000 N] for setting plugs and packers. Its 20,000 psi [138 MPa] rating extends the operating envelope of setting tools to high-pressure operations.

With real-time confirmation reporting of the setting force applied and a variable setting speed, the setting tool is a reliable, low-risk alternative to the conventional use of explosives to set plugs and packers.

Not using explosives provides a significant advantage for operations in locations where explosives security and safety concerns can complicate logistics and cause delays. In addition, the setting tool can be performance tested at the surface before deployment, and radio silence is not necessary during operations.
