Abstract
A tubular actuating system includes, a tubular, a plurality of same plugs runnable within the tubular, a sleeve disposed at the tubular, and at least one slide that is movably disposed at the sleeve between at least a first position and a second position, the at least one slide is configured to be seatingly engagable with a first of the plurality of same plugs when in the first position and seatingly engagable with a second of the plurality of same plugs when in the second position.
Claims17
A tubular actuating system, comprising:
- a tubular;
- a plurality of same plugs runnable within the tubular;
- a sleeve disposed at the tubular;
- and
- at least one slide being movably disposed at the sleeve between at least a first position and a second position, the at least one slide being configured to be seatingly engagable with a first of the plurality of same plugs when in the first position and being seatingly engagable with a second of the plurality of same plugs when in the second position.
2 more elements
A method of actuating a tubular actuator, comprising:
- running a first plug within a tubular;
- engaging an actuator with the first plug;
- altering the actuator with the first plug;
- moving at least one slide with the altering of the actuator;
- running a second plug dimensioned substantially the same as the first plug within the tubular;
- seatingly engaging the at least one slide with the second plug;
- pressuring up against the second plug;
- and
- moving the actuator.
6 more elements
A tubular actuator, comprising:
- a sleeve;
- and
- at least one slide movably disposed at the sleeve configured to be moved during passage of a first engagable member thereby to be subsequently seatingly engagable with a subsequent engagable member, the subsequent engagable member being substantially the same as the first engagable member.
