Abstract

See full text

A borehole plug or packer for treating is designed to be flowed back to a surface location after use. When the treatment is concluded pressure from above is relieved or lowered, and well fluid is flowed back, so that the plug or plugs disengages at slips designed to resist differential pressure from above. The application of differential pressure from below causes the lower slips to release one or more of such plugs in the hole into specialized sub surface or surface capture equipment so that well pressure is relieved before removal of the plugs from specialized subsurface or surface capture equipment. At least one apparatus is used to bridge transitions in wellbore dimension on the way to the surface and close the gaps to allow produced formation fluid to continue taking a packer or plug past the well diameter transition.
