Running tool cartridge system and method

A wellbore system, comprising:

• a running tool comprising:
• a load shoulder;
• and
• a flow by passage formed along the running tool;
• and
• a cartridge positioned on the load shoulder such that the load shoulder blocks axial downward movement of the cartridge along a tool axis, the cartridge circumferentially surrounding the running tool about the tool axis, the cartridge comprising:
• a coupling slot arranged along an outer profile of the cartridge;
• a contact face arranged along the outer profile of the cartridge;
• and
• an axial flow path;
• wherein the flow by passage is aligned with the axial flow path when the cartridge is coupled to the running tool.

A wellbore system, comprising:

• a running tool;
• one or more wellbore components to be installed into a wellbore using the running tool;
• and
• a cartridge configured to couple to the running tool, the cartridge comprising:
• a bore extending through a body of the cartridge;
• a retrieval shoulder arranged along an outer portion of the cartridge to engage at least a portion of the one or more wellbore components to remove the one or more wellbore components from the wellbore;
• a coupling slot configured to couple to one or more features of the one or more wellbore components to install the one or more wellbore components into the wellbore;
• a contact face forming a largest outer diameter of the cartridge and circumferentially surrounding the running tool;
• and
• one or more axial flow paths formed through the body of the cartridge.
