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. A mobile testing assembly can confirm that a setting tool or other associated equipment was manufactured and assembled properly, and is fit for service, prior to running the setting tool a well bore. The mobile testing assembly and testing method can be employed in a shop or other manufacturing facility, or on a well site or other remote location.
