This plug transforms the setting process by using hydraulic power to engage the top slips, followed by mechanical pull to finalize the set. Unlike traditional methods, there’s no need for a separate mechanical setting tool, as this functionality is integrated into the plug itself.

The process is simple: a ball is inserted into the tubing string, blocking the built-in equalizing ports. Pressure is then applied to activate the top slip, and mechanical pull ensures the set is secure. To release, a right-hand rotation of the tubing string disengages the plug.

Once released, the full internal diameter of the tubing is restored, enabling easy passage of additional equipment through the tubing string.
