Abstract: A combination downhole assembly having a setting tool assembly coupled with a downhole tool. The setting tool assembly has an adapter housing configured to couple with a part of a workstring, and a power charge mandrel coupled with the adapter housing. There is a barrel piston releasably coupled with the power charge mandrel. During run-in, the barrel piston is in a first position. Upon activation of a setting sequence, the barrel piston moves to a second position. The setting sequence results in the barrel piston engaging a tension mandrel configured with a deceleration feature.

The outer slip surface is configured with an insert bore, and an insert disposed therein. The insert has an outward most insert face that includes a hole.

Abstract: A downhole tool having a mandrel, and a bottom slip disposed around the mandrel. The bottom slip includes a circular body having a one-piece configuration characterized by a plurality of slip segments by at least partial material connectivity therearound. The bottom slip is made of a filament wound composite material, which means the bottom slip has a plurality of layers joined by respective interface layers. An outer slip surface of at least one of the plurality of slip segments is defined in cross-section by a plane P that intersects a longitudinal axis of the downhole tool at an angle a1 in a range of 10 degrees to 20 degrees when the bottom slip is in an unset position.

Abstract: A downhole plugging system that includes a setting tool, and adapter, and a downhole tool coupled with the setting tool via the adapter. The setting tool includes a setting tool housing; a tension mandrel; and a setting sleeve coupled with the setting tool housing. The downhole tool includes a slip having a slip body; an outer slip surface; an inner slip surface; and at least two slip segments adjoined by a first portion of slip material at a first slip end, and the two slip segments separated by a slip groove therebetween.

Abstract: A setting tool assembly having an adapter housing configured to couple with a part of a workstring, and an inner housing coupled with the adapter housing. A trigger device is coupled with a movable piston. During run-in, the piston is in a first position. Upon activation, the trigger device undergoes an altering event whereby the piston moves to a second position as a result of a pressure acting thereon.

Abstract: A downhole tool suitable for use in a wellbore that includes a wedge mandrel having a distal end; a proximate end; an outer surface; and a flowbore. The tool includes a fingered member disposed around the wedge mandrel. The tool includes a ball seat insert disposed in the flowbore, as well as a support platform disposed in the flowbore.

Abstract: A downhole tool for use in a wellbore having a mandrel, a bearing plate, a first slip, and a second slip. The second slip has a second slip body having a one-piece configuration, an outer second slip surface, an inner second slip surface, and a plurality of second slip grooves disposed therein. At least one of second slip grooves forms a lateral opening in the second slip body. The second slip is made from a composite material or metal material.

Abstract: A downhole tool having a mandrel, a first slip, a second slip, a lower sleeve, and a tethered ball assembly.
