  • Publication number: 20250146373
    Abstract: A gas operated tool for setting a downhole device in a wellbore includes a pressure sub having a first end, a second end, and an inner chamber defining a volume. The inner chamber is configured to receive a power charge. In addition, the tool includes a mandrel operationally attached to the second end of the pressure sub. Further, the tool includes a setting sleeve slidably disposed on the mandrel. The setting sleeve is configured to alternate between a first running position and a second setting position when axial force is applied to the setting sleeve. Still further, the tool includes a dampening assembly coupled to the setting sleeve. The dampening assembly is configured to regulate the axial force applied to the setting sleeve.

  • Patent number: 12221845
    Abstract: 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.
