Abstract: A downhole tool configured to pass through a narrowed diameter, the downhole tool having a mandrel made of a composite material; a fingered member disposed around the mandrel; a first cone disposed around the mandrel; a fingered bearing plate disposed around the mandrel; and a fingered lower sleeve disposed around and coupled to the mandrel.

Abstract: A downhole tool having a mandrel, with a fingered member and a conical member being disposed around the mandrel. There is a solid-body insert positioned proximately to each of the fingered member and the first conical member. The fingered member comprises a plurality of fingers configured to move from a first position to a second position.

Abstract: A fingered member for a downhole tool that includes: a circular body; a plurality of fingers extending from the circular body; a recessed region formed in the circular body; a void formed between respective fingers; and a transition zone between the circular body and the plurality of fingers. The transition zone further includes an inner surface and an outer surface.

Abstract: A downhole tool having a mandrel made of composite material, a fingered member disposed around the mandrel, and a first conical member also disposed around the mandrel. There is an insert positioned proximate to the fingered member and the first conical member, and in engagement with an end of the fingered member. The insert has a circular body, a first end, a second end, and a helical winding groove formed in the circular body between the first end and the second end.

Abstract: A downhole tool having a mandrel, a first conical member, and a fingered member. The fingered member is proximate to the first conical member. The fingered member includes a circular body; a plurality of fingers extending from the circular body; and a recessed region formed in the circular body. The downhole tool has a cone insert disposed in the recessed region.

Abstract: A fingered member for a downhole tool that includes a circular body made of a composite material, and also a plurality of fingers integral to and extending from the circular body. At least one of the plurality of fingers has an insert carriage disposed therein. The insert carriage is made of a reactive metallic material.

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

Abstract: A downhole tool suitable for use in a wellbore, the tool having a mandrel made of a reactive metallic material. The mandrel further includes a mandrel end having a failure point defined by an inner groove and a failure point wall thickness may be in the range of about 0.03 inches to about 0.1 inches. The downhole tool also has a first slip disposed about the mandrel; a second slip disposed about the mandrel; and a lower sleeve disposed about the mandrel proximate to the second slip. The lower sleeve is engaged with the mandrel.

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 extending through the wedge mandrel from the proximate end to the distal end. The tool includes a fingered member disposed around the wedge mandrel. The tool includes a ball seat insert made of a reactive metal-based material, the ball seat insert disposed in the flowbore and engaged with a first set of threads. The tool includes a support platform disposed in the flowbore and engaged with a second set of threads.
