MULTI STAGE SETTING TOOLS    
Owen multi stage wireline pressure setting tools differ from single stage compact tools in that an extra top piston and companion cylinder are added to the tool which then doubles the pulling strength ability of the tool. In addition, the tool has a longer stroke length. The multi stage tool is used primarily to set Magna Range Bridge plugs which require extra stroke length. Another use of the tool is to set Owen Casing / Tubing Patches which require the extra pulling strength provided by the tool. Like the compact setting tools, the burning of the power charge produces high pressure gas that elongates the tool, providing the necessary stroke to set the bridge plugs and casing patches.
 
The tools feature pressure balanced top and bottom pistons and eliminate presetting of the mentioned products caused by high hydrostatic pressure.
 
An electrically actuated high temperature rated ignitor located at the upper end of the tool is ignited and produces a flash flame which, in turn, ignites the power charge that is located directly below the ignitor. The power charge, which is constructed of carefully controlled combustible elements, begins a slow burn of approximately 30 seconds. The resultant gas derived from the burning charge gradually builds up to high pressure and causes the tool to stroke.
 
The pressurized gas migrates down the center of both top pistons of the tool and out into an annular cavity formed between the top pistons and tandem subs. The pressure acting on these areas drives the outside of the tool (consisting of top and bottom cylinders) downward while the top and bottom pistons remain stationary. This motion anchors the bridge plug to the casing then pulls the release stud of the plug in half, freeing the setting tool for retrieval from the well.
 
An oil damper system is built into the tool to control the speed at which the tool strokes. As the tool elongates this oil is forced through an annular orifice and out of the tool at a controlled rate which prevents the tool from stroking too fast and damaging the tool once the release stud pulls apart.
 
Note: IT IS MANDATORY THAT THE TOOL BE FILLED TO CAPACITY WITH OIL AFTER EACH USE OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL WILL RESULT. Excess oil will be purged out automatically during assembly. Likewise, oil expansion caused by high temperature during running will be purged in the same manner.
