Abstract
A technique facilitates operation of a slip assembly, e.g. a frac plug assembly, having a plurality of slips. The plurality of slips may selectively be forced in a radially outward direction via, for example, a cone so as to set the slips against a surrounding casing or other tubing. The slip assembly further comprises a mechanism which allows different amounts of radial movement of individuals slips to ensure sufficient setting of the individual slips when the surrounding tubing is oval or otherwise out of round.
