Verification apparatus and method for a static wellhead plug

A method of verifying relative axial displacement between first and second members of a device disposed within an internal profile associated with a subterranean well, the first and second members having a desired preselected relative axial displacement therebetween, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a verification tool, the verification tool including a first structure capable of axially contacting the first member, and a second structure slidingly disposed relative to the first structure and capable of axially contacting the second member, the second structure being releasably secured against axially sliding displacement relative to the first structure;
• and
• disposing the verification tool in contact with the device, such that the first structure contacts the first member and the second structure contacts the second member, the second structure thereby axially displacing relative to the first structure.

Apparatus for verifying relative displacement between first and second portions of a plug disposed within an internal profile, the apparatus comprising:

• a running tool including a first portion engageable with the first plug portion, a second portion engageable with the second plug portion, and an indicator device indicating relative displacement between the first and second running tool portions.
