Redress Kit for Owen® Style “Shorty” Compact Setting Tool | SSW-10 & SSW-20 Compatible

In the critical phase of wireline completions, the reliability of your Pressure Setting Assembly (WPSA) is the only thing standing between a successful plug-and-perf operation and a costly misrun. At Royal Way, we understand that a single O-ring failure can halt an entire frac fleet. That is why we engineer our Redress Kits not just to “fit,” but to outperform.

Technical Specifications

  • Standard Service (NBR): For routine operations up to 250°F.
  • High-Temp Service (FKM/Viton®): For deep, hot wells up to 400°F.
  • Extreme Service (Aflas®/HNBR): For Sour Gas (H2S) and chemically aggressive environments.

Sizes

  • Available for #10, #20, and Compact Setting Tools etc.

Product: Redress Kit for Owen® Style “Shorty” Compact Setting Tool | SSW-10 & SSW-20 Compatible

1. Executive Summary: The Pump-Down Workhorse

In modern horizontal fracturing, lubricator height is limited, and pump-down speeds are aggressive. The Owen® Style Compact Setting Tool (often called the “Shorty”) is the industry standard for these “Plug-and-Perf” operations.

Royal Way Redress Kits for Owen Style tools are engineered specifically for the rigors of Pump-Down Operations. Unlike static tools, a Shorty is subjected to high-velocity fluid bypass and dynamic pressure fluctuations while traveling down the lateral. Our kits feature high-modulus elastomers and precision-cut PTFE backups designed to resist seal washout and fluid invasion, ensuring your tool arrives at depth dry, intact, and ready to fire.

2. Compatibility Guide: SSW-10 vs. SSW-20

Owen Style tools use a different naming convention than Baker tools. Our kits are 100% interchangeable with the SSW Series Compact Wireline Setting Tools.

Select Your Kit:

Option A: SSW-10 Compact Redress Kit

  • Tool OD: 1-11/16″ or 2-1/8″

  • Equivalent to: Baker #10 (but shorter stroke/length).

  • Application: 4.5″ Casing operations, Thru-Tubing.

  • Key Feature: Includes seals for the compact firing head and floating piston.

Option B: SSW-20 Compact Redress Kit

  • Tool OD: 3-1/2″ to 3-5/8″

  • Equivalent to: Baker #20 (Heavy Duty).

  • Application: 5.5″ Casing and larger. High-force setting for large frac plugs.

  • Key Feature: Heavy-duty O-rings to contain larger power charges.

⚠️ FITMENT GUARANTEE: These seals are dimensionally optimized for Owen® Style grooves. While similar to Baker, there are subtle differences. Royal Way guarantees a perfect fit for Owen-style hardware.

3. The “Pump-Down” Challenge: Why Seals Matter

When a tool is pumped down a 10,000 ft lateral at 400 ft/min, the seals face a unique threat: External Pressure & Drag.

  • The Risk: Fluid turbulence can force its way past the seals, invading the oil chamber or firing head before the tool even reaches the setting depth.

  • The Royal Way Solution: We utilize 90 Durometer compounds (Standard NBR or Viton®) that are stiffer and more resistant to “rollover” or distortion during the pump-down phase. Our backups are machined to tight tolerances to prevent seals from unseating during transit.

4. Kit Contents: Complete Rebuild Components

Everything you need for a full turnaround, packaged in a sealed, UV-resistant bag.

  1. Compact Firing Head Seals: Specialized small-diameter O-rings to isolate the igniter.

  2. Floating Piston Assembly:

    • High-pressure O-rings.

    • Dual PTFE Backup Rings (Virgin grade for low friction).

  3. Cylinder & Adapter Seals: Complete set of static body seals.

  4. Manual Bleed-Off Valve Seals: Essential safety replacement parts.

  5. Port Plugs & Washers: (Included in select kits where applicable).

5. Material Selection Guide

Material Temp Rating Best Application
Standard NBR (Black) -20°F to +250°F Standard Plug-and-Perf, Fresh Water Pump-Down. Cost-effective for high-volume disposables.
High-Temp Viton® (Black/Brown) -15°F to +400°F Deep HPHT wells, or wells using Recycled/Produced Water (which often contains trace chemicals that attack NBR).

6. Why Royal Way for Compact Tools?

  • High-Volume Consistency: Wireline shops rebuild dozens of “Shorties” a week. We offer Bulk Packaging (Master Packs) to streamline your inventory and reduce plastic waste.

  • Freshness Guaranteed: We strictly adhere to ARP 5316 shelf-life standards. You will never receive dried-out or cracked seals that cause field failures.

  • Leak-Free Firing Heads: Our firing head seals are inspected under magnification to ensure the electrical contact area remains absolutely dry.
