Abstract
A soft open preventer system including: a preventer tubular, a soft open preventer, a channel system, and a downhole tool. The soft open preventer includes a preventer support and a preventer release element. The channel system includes a channel, a channel release, and pressure applier. The downhole tool includes a tool release element. The soft open preventer, the downhole tool, and the channel system is arranged at least partially in the preventer tubular. The soft open preventer is arranged such that the downhole tool will not activate before the soft open preventer activates. The pressure applier is arranged to activate the channel release, the channel release is arranged to allow pressure to increase in the channel, and the channel is in fluid contact with at least a portion of the preventer support. The preventer release element supports the preventer support and is arranged such that when a threshold absolute pressure or pressure differential is applied to the preventer release element, the preventer release element breaks activating the soft open preventer. This allows the preventer support to move. The preventer system is arranged such that activation of the soft open preventer will allow the activation of the downhole tool.
