This hydro-firing head is a 2-in-1 solution that allows you to pump a full column of cement immediately after the bridge plug is confirmed set. You'll notice that the tool activates a standard [wireline](https://www.superiorperformance.com/equipment) pressure setting tool that can now [run on pipe](https://info.keystoneenergytools.com/blog/say-hello-to-keystones-drill-pipe-elevators), shearing the plug instantly without multiple excessive pressure.   There are several challenges with the current method of hydro-firing bridge plugs. The process is time-consuming, laborious, and expensive. It was this assessment that lead First Down Oil Services to develop a faster way; easier way; and less expensive way. ## Conventional Tool Vs. First Down’s Hydro-Firing Head ### Convention Tool - Multiple pressures are applied to set. - Tension pulls are required to release. - Must be set in clean fluids. - Over pressuring will damage tool. - Tool must be sent in for rebuilding. - Tool is transported in baskets. ### First Down’s Hydro-Firing Head - Single pressure applied to set. - Instant, automatic shearing from tool. - Can be set in dirty fluids or heavy mud. - Over pressuring will not damage the tool. - Easily rebuilt multiple times on location. - Tool is transported in hand carry case. ## 2 in 1 Solution The [Hydro-Firing Head](https://firstdownoil.services/about-the-tool/) provides a 2-in-1 solution that allows you to pump a full column of cement immediately after the bridge plug is confirmed set. - Shortest BHA in the industry (59 inches) - Suitcase size allows for simple mobilization - Can be used for multiple settings - Can be rebuilt on location within 5 minutes The tool activates a standard wireline pressure setting tool. This is a tool that can run on pipe. It will shear the plug instantly without any multiple excessive [pressures and tension](https://info.keystoneenergytools.com/blog/introducing-keystones-load-testing-services) pulling or possible auto-fill valve failures. --- #### Written in collaboration with [https://firstdownoil.services/ --- ](https://firstdownoil.services/) #### ABOUT PES [PES (Practical Engineering Solutions), located in Lafayette, Louisiana](https://pes.stonewallco.com/), provided PE review/stamp and [mechanical engineering services](https://info.stonewallco.com/blog/want-to-change-the-world-through-mechanical-engineering-innovation-use-a-proven-system) on this project. PESwill always be dedicated to providing top-notch customer service to meet our industry demands.
