Abstract
A downhole system includes a packer assembly including a backup ring. The backup ring includes a plurality of nested leaves nested sequentially in a circumferential direction with adjacent circumferentially positioned leaves to collectively form a substantially circular shape. Each leaf includes a receiving section and an insertion section, the receiving section receiving an insertion section of an adjacent leaf. Upon radial expansion of the backup ring, the plurality of nested leaves fan out in the circumferential direction.
