ADJUSTABLE ELEMENT ENERGY RETENTION MECHANISM

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250084715 titled 'ADJUSTABLE ELEMENT ENERGY RETENTION MECHANISM

Original Abstract Submitted

provided, in one aspect, is an anchoring subassembly, a well system, and a method. the anchoring subassembly, in one aspect, includes a mandrel, and an isolation element positioned about the mandrel, the isolation element configured to move between a radially retracted state, a fully radially expanded state, and a relaxed radially expanded state. the anchoring subassembly, in one aspect, further includes a ratch latch body coupled to the isolation element, the ratch latch body configured to hold the isolation element in the fully radially expanded state, and a relief feature coupled to the ratch latch body, the relief feature configured to shear to release stored energy in the isolation element and thereby allow the isolation element to move from the fully radially expanded state to the relaxed radially expanded state.
