V. Cementing Tools - g.2. Plug Launch Tool
The Plug Launch Tool is designed for deploying and releasing liner wiper plugs for liners 7-5/8” and smaller. The tool has been designed in sizes to deploy wiper plugs ranging from 4-1/2” through 7-5/8”. While it is a cost effective and simple tool, it does incorporate an internal sealing and locking mechanism which eliminates releasing pressure from the wiper plug fins. This feature increases plug release reliability. Also, this tool incorporates an annular valve which eliminates trapped pressure above the liner wiper plug when the running tools are manipulated to check for running tool release.
Features/Benefits
  • Positive locking mechanism for reliable deployment
