Abstract
A timed-release slip system includes a plurality of slips each having a lateral tongue. The system further includes a cone having a track subsystem, the track subsystem configured to retain the plurality of slips during running and setting while allowing longitudinal motion of the slip in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cone while being retrieved. Finally, the system includes a slip ring configured to pull one or more of the plurality of slips before a different one or more of the plurality of slips. A method for setting and releasing a slip system, includes driving a plurality of slips into a cone having a track subsystem configured to retain the plurality of slips during running and setting against a radially outwardly positioned structure, timing release of the plurality of slips, allowing longitudinal motion of the slips in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cone while being released.
