Centralizing and protecting sabot

A system for setting a seal (200, 300, 400) in a wellbore includes a sabot (230, 330, 412) being supported by the seal (200, 300, 400) and having a first diameter (232, 332, 414) larger than a second diameter (222, 322, 420) of the seal (200, 300, 400). The system also includes a bridge (240, 340, 4...

Zusammenfassung:A system for setting a seal (200, 300, 400) in a wellbore includes a sabot (230, 330, 412) being supported by the seal (200, 300, 400) and having a first diameter (232, 332, 414) larger than a second diameter (222, 322, 420) of the seal (200, 300, 400). The system also includes a bridge (240, 340, 424) coupled to the sabot (230, 330, 412), the bridge (240, 340, 424) extending axially away from the sabot (230, 330, 412) and positioned within a slot (228, 328) formed by an extension (212, 312, 418). The system also includes an energizing ring (308, 402) that applies a radial force to a leg (206, 306, 404) proximate the sabot (230, 330, 412) to at least partially deform the sabot (230, 330, 412).
