Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include selling or licensing the downhole tool to oil and gas companies for use in their well operations.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be similar downhole tools used in the oil and gas industry, but with different designs or functionalities.

Unanswered Questions

How does the packer assembly ensure a secure engagement with the latching profile?

The abstract does not provide specific details on how the packer assembly achieves a secure engagement with the latching profile in the well system.

Are there any limitations to the size or depth of well systems where this technology can be used?

The abstract does not mention any limitations regarding the size or depth of well systems where this downhole tool can be effectively utilized.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a downhole tool, a well system, and a method for forming a well system. The downhole tool, in one aspect, includes a latch collet including a collet body, the collet body having a plurality of collet fingers, and a mandrel positioned within the collet body. The downhole tool, according to this aspect, further includes a packer assembly positioned axially between the collet body and the mandrel, the packer assembly configured to move from a radially retracted state when the mandrel and collet body are being run-in-hole to a radially extended state when the collet body has engaged with a latching profile and weight is placed down upon the packer assembly.
