ABSTRACT:
A downhole packing mechanism for achieving sealed engagement with the bore of a well conduit comprises a mandrel positionable within a well by a tubing string. Surrounding the mandrel is a tubular body assemblage which is connectable to the mandrel for run-in purposes by a control dog and slot arrangement. An annular packing element surrounds the upper end of the tubular body assemblage and is compressed into sealing engagement with the well bore conduit by an upper slip assembly. A lower slip assembly surrounds the tubular body assemblage and is detachably engagable with the mandrel for setting by initial upward movement of the mandrel. Subsequent upward movement of the mandrel effects the upward movement of the upper slip assembly, the compression of the annular packing element into sealing engagement with the well conduit and the setting of the upper slip assembly. The device may be used as a packer, bridge plug, tubing hanger, or the like.
