A contraction joint includes an upper tubular member, an upper mandrel, a lower mandrel, a nipple housing connected to the upper tubular member, a support sleeve disposed around the upper mandrel, an activation dog disposed within the support sleeve, a lock housing disposed in an annular space between the nipple housing and the mandrel, the lock housing connecting the upper mandrel to the lower mandrel, and a stroke locking mechanism disposed within the lock housing. In the locked position, the lock housing is affixed to the support sleeve with a shear mechanism, the stroke locking mechanism is supported by the support sleeve, and a stroke locking mechanism profile and an activation profile of the activation dog prevent the nipple housing from moving.

A contraction joint includes a mandrel at least partially disposed within an upper tubular member, the upper tubular member being capable of moving uphole and downhole to change a length of the contraction joint. The contraction joint also includes a nipple housing connected to the upper tubular member, a piston housing connected to the nipple housing, a support piston disposed in the piston housing, the support piston being affixed to an upper mandrel sub of the mandrel via at least one piston retaining device, a lock housing disposed between the upper tubular member and the upper mandrel sub, and a stroke locking mechanism disposed within the lock housing, the stroke locking mechanism including a profile that engages the nipple housing.

A valve for use in a wellbore includes a replaceable choke device that is threaded into at least one opening formed through a sidewall of a tubular housing of the valve. The choke device is sealable on the sidewall of the tubular housing with an elastomeric sealing component, and the choke device controls at least one of fluid pressure within the tubular string and a pressure drop across the valve. The valve also includes a flow sleeve carried by the tubular housing for movement relative thereto between a first position in which fluid flow s permitted across the valve, a second position in which the flow sleeve prevents fluid flow across the valve, and a third position in which the flow sleeve is locked in place relative to the tubular housing by a lock ring.
