Abstract

A downhole component for integration in wellbore string is provided. The downhole component includes fluid conduits enabling fluid flow therethrough and a sealing element connected to the fluid conduits and operable between a disengaged configuration, where the sealing element is disengaged from an inner surface of the wellbore, and an engaged configuration. The downhole component also includes an actuation assembly having a blocking member releasably secured to the fluid conduits and a fluid-pressure operable actuation member slidably connected to the fluid conduits adapted to engage and operate the sealing element from the disengaged configuration to the engaged configuration. The downhole component has a release mechanism operable to release the blocking member to enable the sealing element to revert to the disengaged configuration, wherein the release mechanism is adapted to be selectively and independently operated relative to additional release mechanisms associated with adjacent downhole components along the wellbore string.
