Abstract
A downhole tool for use in a wellbore having a mandrel, a bearing plate, a first slip, and a second slip. The second slip has a second slip body having a one-piece configuration, an outer second slip surface, an inner second slip surface, and a plurality of second slip grooves disposed therein. At least one of second slip grooves forms a lateral opening in the second slip body. The second slip is made from a composite material or metal material.
Claims17
A downhole tool for use in a wellbore, the downhole tool comprising:
- a mandrel made of a composite material, the mandrel further comprising:
- a distal end;
- a proximate end;
- and an outer surface;
- a bearing plate disposed around the mandrel;
- a first slip disposed around the mandrel proximate to the proximate end, the first slip further comprising:
- a first slip body having a one-piece configuration, an outer slip surface, an inner slip surface, and a plurality of grooves disposed therein,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of grooves forms a lateral opening in the first slip body that is defined by a first portion of slip material at a first slip end, a second portion of slip material at a second slip end, and a depth that extends from the outer slip surface to the inner slip surface;
- a second slip disposed around the mandrel proximate to the distal end, the second slip further comprising:
- a second slip body having a one-piece configuration, an outer second slip surface, an inner second slip surface, and a plurality of second slip grooves disposed therein,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of second slip grooves forms a second slip lateral opening in the second slip body that is defined by a first portion of second slip material at a first second slip end, a second portion of second slip material at a second second slip end, and a second slip depth that extends from the outer second slip surface to the inner second slip surface;
- a first cone disposed around the mandrel, and proximate to the first slip;
- a sealing element disposed around the mandrel;
- and
- a lower sleeve coupled to the mandrel, and proximate to a second side of the second slip.
