The Novomet hydraulic setting tool is used to set packers and other tools without the need for wireline, slickline, coiled tubing, or any other intervention method. The setting tool creates a seal between the packer body and the casing internal diameter (ID). It uses dissolving metal technology and a downhole bypass system to actuate a hydraulic-set isolation packer and then regain reservoir access. Eliminating the need for intervention simplifies the flow control operation and saves costs.

The hydraulic setting tool uses a solid isolation disk or a dissolving ball seat for isolation. Once isolation occurs and the completion packer is set, a bypass access to the reservoir may be created for immediate flow back. In this case, the device will cycle up to five times with applied pressure.
