Product Overview

The Omega Hydrostatic Setting Tool (HST)
provides the industry with a highly reliable,
non-pyrotechnic setting device used for the
installation of downhole tools such as Bridge
Plugs, High Expansion Gauge Hangers,
and Straddles. The setting tool converts the
hydrostatic pressure at the tool into an axial
force. The short overall length of the HST
has been achieved by incorporating a highly
efficient ‘pressure multiplying’ piston area within
the setting tool. This combined with a unique
regulating device allows the hydrostatic well
pressure to be boosted within the tool, which in
turn provides the axial force.
In addition the HST can also be adapted for
Coil Tubing and Drill Pipe applications as
required. When run on Slickline a ReAct™
timer is used, which features an external switch
allowing the timer to be started just before the
tool string is picked up. The lower end of the
setting tool will make up to industry standard
wireline adapter kits.
With no requirements for explosives, the
Omega Hydrostatic Setting Tool negates the
issues commonly associated with the handling,
transportation, storage, importing and exporting
of hazardous materials.

The HST has been extensively deployed on

both Slickline and E-Line operations and can
be quickly converted from Slickline to E-line
deployment on the rig site by replacing only two
components at the top of the tool.

Product Function

1. The Nitrogen Chamber Setting Tool utilises

a pre-charged gas module to generate the
required setting forces.
2. Upon actuation of the tool the Valve
Pin retracts allowing the Nitrogen Gas
to enter the Flow Tube which facilitates
communication of pressure to the lower
end of the tool via the Inlet Pressure Control
Valve.
3. The gas acts against the Main Piston which
forces Hydraulic Oil from the Hydraulic Oil
Chamber to the Setting Load Chamber.
4. The increasing volume of oil within the
