  • Publication number: 20070119600
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in a subterranean well is described. The apparatus typically includes a mandrel and a packing element. The mandrel may have an outer surface and a non-circular cross-section and the packing element may be arranged about the mandrel, the packing element having a non-circular inner surface matching the mandrel outer surface such that concentric rotation between the mandrel and the packing element is precluded. The apparatus may include slips having cavities to facilitate removal of the apparatus. The apparatus also may include a valve for controlling upward fluid flow through a hollow mandrel. The valve may include a flapper having at least one tab to engage at least one recession in the mandrel such that rotation between the mandrel and the valve is precluded when the valve is in a closed position. The apparatus may further include a central member which is releaseably attached to the mandrel by a release mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20060085683
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for managing a complex, the system comprising a discovery and monitoring subsystem for determining an operational model of the complex; a reference model store subsystem for storing and retrieving one or more reference models; a reference model transcription subsystem for providing a reference model of the complex; a reference model generation subsystem for modifying the reference model via inputs from an administrative client; a model comparator subsystem for providing a composite model; a reference model update subsystem for allowing the administrative client to select features of the current operational model to be incorporated into the reference model; a nonconformance visualization subsystem for providing a visual display of the composite model; a conformance monitoring subsystem for providing a predetermined action if the composite model indicates that the operational model does not conform with the reference model; a change procedure generator subsystem for provi
