An element including an undercut in the element extending from an innermost surface of the element radially outwardly into the element, and a pathway intersecting the undercut and extending from the undercut to an outermost surface of the element, the pathway fluidly connecting the outermost surface of the element to the undercut prior to setting of the seal.

Method for resisting swab off of an element and improved sealing

An anchor and seal system including a slip, a cone in radially expanding communication with the slip, an element in loadable communication with the cone, and a pusher configured to radially displace the element to reside on an element retention surface of the pusher. A method for treating a borehole including running an anchor and seal system above to depth, activating a setting arrangement to anchor and seal the anchor and seal system.

Anchor and seal system

A downhole tool includes a tool member having a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface. The radially inner surface includes an angled section. A drive member is axially spaced from the tool member. The drive member includes a radially outer surface portion and a radially inner surface portion. The radially outer surface portion includes an angled portion. A seal element is provided on the drive member. The seal element includes a first portion coupled to the radially outer surface portion and a second portion that is radially outwardly disengagable from the radially outer surface portion in response to one of fluid pressure and fluid flow.

A valve assembly for a plug to close off a zone in the well for further treatment above the plug features a valve member initially pinned in an open position where flow up to a predetermined level can move through without dislodging the valve plug to move to its associated seat. If the perforating gun misfires a replacement gun can be run in with flow as the plug is still retained in the position for flow through the plug. On the other hand flow around the plug above a predetermined level will shear retainers for the plug and let the plug land on its seat closing flow in a downhole direction for treatment.

Flow activated valve

A body freshener is provided which performs several function. Air may be directed at the body for cooling. The air may be heated for drying or for comfort. The air may carry various fragrances or lotions as desired to be applied to the body of the user.
