Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods provide convenient and reliable deposition of a radially deflectable blocking member relative to a downhole tool. In a described embodiment of the apparatus, a lock-out tool has mechanisms which effect latching of the tool to an internal profile of a safety valve, displacement of an opening prong of the safety valve to open the safety valve, and deposition of an expandable ring to prevent closure of the safety valve. The ring is accurately positioned by the tool and is constructed in a manner which enables it to resist relatively large axial loads, but which also enable it to be significantly radially compressed.
