Subsurface safety valve lock out and communication tool and method for use of the same

A communication tool for communicating hydraulic fluid through a tubing retrievable safety valve having a pocket and a non annular hydraulic chamber in a sidewall portion thereof, the tool comprising:

• a first section and a second section that are initially coupled together;
• a set of axial locating keys operably attached to the first section that is engagably positionable within a profile;
• a radial cutting device radially extendable through a window of the second section;
• and
• a circumferential locating key operably attached to the second section that is engagably positionable within the pocket of the safety valve when the first and second sections are decoupled, thereby circumferentially aligning the radial cutting device with the non annular hydraulic chamber.

A method for axially and circumferentially aligning a portion of a first downhole tool with a portion of a second downhole tool comprising the steps of:

• positioning the first tool within the second tool;
• decoupling a first section of the first tool from a second section of the first tool;
• axially aligning the portion of the first tool with the portion of the second tool by axially shifting the first section of the first tool relative to the second section of the first tool;
• and
• circumferentially aligning the portion of the first tool with the portion of the second tool by rotatably shifting the first section of the first tool relative to the second section of the first tool.
