Abstract: A downhole tool suitable for use in a wellbore, the tool having a cone mandrel having a dual-cone outer surface. The downhole tool includes a carrier ring disposed around one end of the cone mandrel. There is a slip disposed around or proximate to an other end of the cone mandrel. The cone mandrel has inner flowbore extending therethrough from the proximate end to the distal end.

Abstract: A downhole tool suitable for use in a wellbore, the tool having a double cone having a dual-cone outer surface. The downhole tool includes a carrier ring disposed around one end of the double cone, and a slip disposed around or proximate to an other end of the double cone. There is a guide assembly engaged with the slip.

Abstract: A setting tool assembly configured to couple with a part of a workstring, the assembly having an inner housing coupled with one or more other components. 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 cement head is disclosed that includes a cement head body that houses a moveable cage which protects a cement plug until the cement plug is released into a cement flow path. The cage is moveable between a first position in which cement slurry flows around the cage, and a second position in which cement slurry flows through the cage to facilitate launch of the cement plug into a wellbore. The cage may include a lifting device to assist with moving the cage from the second position to the first position after launch of the cement plug. The cement head may be a modular design that includes multiple cement head bodies, and may also include a pressure balanced plug launch indicator and torque keys.

Abstract: Apparatus for a downhole tool in a well bore includes at least one locking mechanism and at least one sleeve. The locking mechanism is configured in a first position to prevent the upper slips from engaging the well bore wall before being positioned at the desired setting location in the well bore and is moveable into a second position that allows the upper slips to be moved into engagement with the well bore wall. A sleeve is moveable axially in the direction of the lower end of the downhole tool and configured to move the locking mechanism from its first to its second positions and also to move the upper slips axially relative to the downhole tool into engagement with the well bore wall.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatus useful for preventing the premature setting of upper slips of a downhole tool in a well bore prior to reaching the desired setting location in the well bore includes at least one locking mechanism and at least one sleeve. The locking mechanism is configured in a first position to prevent the upper slips from engaging the well bore wall before being positioned at the desired setting location in the well bore and is moveable into a second position that allows the upper slips to be moved into engagement with the well bore wall. A sleeve is moveable axially in the direction of the lower end of the downhole tool and configured to move the locking mechanism from its first to its second positions and also to move the upper slips axially relative to the downhole tool into engagement with the well bore wall.
