Electro-mechanical downhole setting tool for efficient plug or packer setting
The Welltec® Electrical Setting Tool (WEST) is a next‑generation electro‑mechanical setting tool designed to deliver powerful, repeatable performance without the risks or limitations of explosives or hydraulics.
Capable of generating linear force up to 50,000 lbf and deployable on all major conveyance methods, WEST provides a safer, cleaner, and more efficient way to set plugs, packers, and other wellbore devices. Engineered to provide dependable, consistent performance across diverse intervention environments, WEST delivers precise and controlled setting to multi-task operations.
WEST is ideal for medium- and high-expansion retrievable bridge plug operations utilizing THOR™, VALI™, and ODIN™ plugs.
