The setting tool includes a collet-type hydraulic release liner deployment and release mechanism, as well as a pusher sleeve to pack off the LRP. No rotation is required to release the LRST from the liner, making it suitable for horizontal and high-inclination wells. The LRST allows the Long Reach Liner system to be pushed, pulled, and rotated to achieve target depth. An internal bypass feature reduces formation surge pressures and allows faster running speeds. The LRST also features a backup mechanical-release mechanism (option) that reduces the risk of not being able to release the LRST from the liner. The mechanical release is achieved by a one-quarter turn to the left.
