Abstract
A system and method for determining the location of a droppable object in a wellbore. The droppable object includes an integrated locating system that detects completion components as the object moves through a casing string. The locating system includes an actuation device that is activated based on detection of the components. When activated, the actuation device exerts a radially directed frictional pressure against the inner wall of the casing string, thereby generating pressure pulse telemetry signals that are detected and analyzed by surface equipment to determine the object's downhole location.
