Patent

CA 2175851

A system for releasing a downhole tool such as a packer is revealed which allows the tool to retain its set position against a very high loading force which can occur during operations such as perforating or acidizing or other formation treat- ments. Subsequently, before environmental conditions can adversely affect the integrity of the locking mechanism which employs a movable sleeve or equivalent,the release mechanism involving such a sleeve or equivalent is actuated. This disables one of the locking mechanisms on the tool and enables a shear-release mechanism, which is preferably set at a fairly low shear force to facilitate simple removal of the downhole tool at a later time when it becomes necessary to retrieve it.
