Tie-Back Seal Assembly

A tie-back seal system comprising:

• a tie-back seal assembly including:
• an outer sleeve;
• an inner sleeve disposed within the outer sleeve;
• a shear pin extending through the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve;
• and
• a ratch-latch pin coupled to and disposed downhole from the inner sleeve;
• a tie-back liner disposed within the inner sleeve and coupled to the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve using the shear pin such that the shear pin prevents axial movement of the tie-back liner relative to the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve;
• and
• a tie-back receptacle configured to engage with the ratch-latch pin to prevent axial movement of the inner sleeve and the tie-back liner in an uphole direction, the tie-back receptacle including:
• a shoulder that, when in contact with the outer sleeve of the tie-back seal assembly, prevents axial movement of the outer sleeve in a downhole direction.

A method of coupling a tie-back liner with a tie-back receptacle, comprising:

• coupling the tie-back liner to a tie-back seal assembly with a shear pin that, when engaged with the tie-back liner, prevents axial movement of the tie-back liner within an outer sleeve of the tie-back seal assembly;
• inserting the tie-back liner and the tie-back seal assembly into a wellbore to a point where the outer sleeve contacts a tie-back receptacle and a seal of the tie-back liner engages with the tie-back receptacle to form a fluid-tight and pressure-tight seal;
• and
• applying a force to the tie-back liner in a downhole direction sufficient to shear the shear pin and axially displace the tie-back liner in the downhole direction such that a ratch-latch pin of the tie-back seal assembly engages with the tie-back receptacle to prevent axial movement of the tie-back liner in an uphole direction relative to the tie-back receptacle.
