Abstract
Disclosed herein is a segmented seat for use in wellbore servicing systems, comprising an annular-shaped seat with an upward facing surface for receiving an obturator, the seat defining a central passageway. The seat comprises one or more slots or passageways and, wherein at least one slot or passageway extends continuously between seat segments. The at least one slot or passageway contains a nonmetallic material suitable for retaining the segments together yet frangible or flexible enough to allow the segments to separate when forced to do so. The segments have gripping surfaces which prevent or inhibit rotation of the seat during removal.
