Abstract
A well construction includes a spool with a skirt that seats against a collar in a vertical well casing, the collar and skirt cooperating to limit the downwardly longitudinal movement of the spool within the casing. Both the skirt and collar form keyed surfaces each defined by a specific pattern of indentations and protrusions. The skirt and collar keyed surfaces are at least partially complementary so that, when the spool is in an operational position, the two surfaces intermesh and either eliminate or substantially reduce spool rotation within the well casing.
