DEPLOYING AN EXPANDABLE DOWNHOLE SEAT ASSEMBLY

A method includes running an assembly on a tool in a contracted state into a well. The assembly includes segments that are adapted to be radially contracted and arranged in a first number of layers along a longitudinal axis of the assembly in the contracted state of the assembly. The technique inclu...

Zusammenfassung:	A method includes running an assembly on a tool in a contracted state into a well. The assembly includes segments that are adapted to be radially contracted and arranged in a first number of layers along a longitudinal axis of the assembly in the contracted state of the assembly. The technique includes using the tool to expand the assembly downhole in the well to transition the assembly between the contracted state and an expanded state. Using the tool to expand the seat assembly includes radially expanding the segments and longitudinally contracting the segments to arrange the layers in a second number of layers having at least one layer less than the first number.
