SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INCREASING FORCE ON DOWNHOLE TOOL
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240426191 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INCREASING FORCE ON DOWNHOLE TOOL
Original Abstract Submitted
a technique facilitates application of increased force on a downhole tool, such as a shifting tool. according to an embodiment, a shifting tool is sized for deployment along the interior of a well string to enable shifting of a sliding sleeve. the shifting tool comprises a plurality of keys which are movably mounted for actuation between a contracted position and an extended position engaging the sliding sleeve. a plurality of pads may be actuated with the plurality of keys so as to form a flow restriction between the shifting tool and the surrounding well string. as a result, fluid pumped down between the shifting tool and the well string establishes a pressure differential across the flow restriction which helps move the shifting tool and the sliding sleeve to a desired position.
