Downhole hydraulic path selection

摘要

A method of servicing a well and an associated well system provide convenient downhole hydraulic path selection. A hydraulic path selector is preconfigured for selection of a desired hydraulic path set, and then the selector is conveyed into a tubular string (50) in which a hydraulic manifold (68) is connected to one or more hydraulically operable tools (10). When engaged with the manifold (68), the selector selects an appropriate hydraulic path set (64,66), which selection determines which tool (10) is to be operated and/or in what manner the tool (10) is to be operated. <IMAGE>
