DEBRIS BARRIER WITH A DOWNHOLE TOOL SETTING ASSEMBLY

摘要

An apparatus is disclosed to allow efficient setting and release from a liner packer connected to a liner assembly. The polished bore adjacent the packer is protected from debris since the setting procedure takes place while the polished bore remains protected. Movements necessary to accomplish the setting procedure occur principally at the uphole end of the polished bore to minimize adverse effects on the integrity of the polished bore from such movements in an area where subsequent operations require a sealing contact.
