Abstract
A tool for manipulating a tubular. The tool comprising a plurality of tool sections arranged in a stack, each tool section comprising a propellant source having an upper surface and lower surface, the upper and lower surfaces being separated by an outer surface extending around the perimeter of the propellant source, a first flame retardant material being associated with the propellant source upper surface and a second flame retardant material being associated with the propellant source lower surface. The tool further comprises at least one modifying agent provided in or adjacent the tool sections or generated by the tool sections; and an ignition mechanism for igniting the propellant source outer surface of each tool section, such that upon ignition, each propellant source is adapted to deflagrate, creating a stream of combustion products, the stream of combustion products extending around, and flowing away from, the outer surface of said propellant source.
