One trip interventionless liner hanger and packer setting apparatus and method

A method of operating multiple tools with actuators therefor at a subterranean location, comprising:

• running in, to a predetermined subterranean location, a tubular string on a running tool, said running tool connected adjacent a lower end of a running string;
• mounting the multiple tools and actuators therefor exterior to said tubular string for said running in;
• mounting a triggering device on said running tool for said running in;
• sequentially setting said multiple tools with said triggering device with movement, of said running tool relative to the tubular string triggering at least one of said multiple tools to set;
• moving said triggering device with respect to said tubular string to actuate a first of said tools;
• continuing to support said tubular string with said running tool when actuating said first of said tools;
• releasing from said tubular string and removing said running tool and running string from the subterranean location;
• mounting said triggering device on a telescoping component of said running tool;
• moving said triggering device longitudinally with applied pressure to said telescoping component;
• landing an object on a seat to allow pressure buildup to move said telescoping component.

• releasing from said tubular string and removing said running tool and running string from the subterranean location;
• employing hydrostatic pressure available at the subterranean location to selectively drive discrete pistons that comprise said actuators to set a first and second of said multiple tools;
• employing said triggering device to open a valve such that hydrostatic pressure is allowed to act on said pistons against an opposing lower pressure force to drive said pistons sequentially in setting said first and second tools.
