Abstract
A selective plug including a body; and a rotator configuration in operable communication with the body capable of causing the plug to selectively pass a number of borehole restrictions to reach and engage a target restriction and method.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A selective plug comprising:
a body; a rotator configuration in operable communication with the body capable of causing the plug to selectively pass a number of borehole restrictions to reach and engage a target restriction.
2 . The selective plug as claimed in claim 1 wherein the rotator configuration is in operable communication with a collet.
3 . The selective plug as claimed in claim 2 wherein the collet includes a lug that extends into the rotator.
4 . The selective plug as claimed in claim 2 wherein the rotator includes a J-Slot configuration thereon responsive to movement of the collet.
5 . The selective plug as claimed in claim 1 wherein the rotator configuration further includes a key interactive with the rotator configuration to prevent rotation thereof after a selected number of increments.
6 . The selective plug as claimed in claim 5 wherein the key interacts with one of a plurality of step profile teeth.
7 . The selective plug as claimed in claim 1 wherein the body includes a flared end.
8 . The selective plug as claimed in claim 7 wherein the flared end supports one or more collet fingers of a collet mounted at the body.
9 . The selective plug as claimed in claim 1 wherein the rotator configuration includes a biasing arrangement.
10 . The selective plug as claimed in claim 9 wherein biasing arrangement is a spring.
11 . A method for conducting borehole operations comprising:
determining where in a borehole an operation is desired; setting a selective plug; and deploying the selective plug into the borehole.Cited by (0)
