Abstract: Parts that need to be retained against relative movement are held with at least one collet that is captured in a groove with sleeve that acts as a piston. The piston is exposed to tubing pressure on opposed ends to be in pressure balance despite variations of pressure in the tubing. When it is desired to allow relative part movement to actuate the tool, one of the ports to the piston is isolated from the other and pressure drives the piston in a downhole direction. This releases the collet and drives a sleeve in an opposite direction to actuate a tool. The parts can be optionally rotationally locked.

Abstract: A completion assembly of a top packer and zone isolation packers separated by screens has a disconnect in a selected zone to be fractured or gravel packed that is armed before such a procedure starts. Initially when the assembly of the outer completion and the inner string are properly located and all the screens valved off, all the packers are pressure set and the packer set release device associated with each packer is armed. Before starting a fracturing or gravel packing operation from a given zone isolation packer, a disconnect for that zone packer is armed so that if the inner string sticks in that packer, the inner string is sheared and removed and another trip is used to grab the top packer and pick up. Such picking up releases all the packers down to the one armed disconnect. The disconnect releases bringing up the remnant of the inner string stuck in the packer just above the actuated disconnect.
