Abstract

A seat for a tubular treating system includes a single piece body having a central portion, and a frustoconical surface extending longitudinally from the central portion in a first direction configured to radially expand slips urged thereagainst. The seat also includes a collar extending longitudinally from the central portion in a second direction configured to be radially expanded into sealing engagement with a structure in response to a frustoconical member urged thereagainst. A seal surface is sealably engagable with a plug run thereagainst, and the seal surface is longitudinally displaced from the collar in the first direction.

Claims (15)

1. A seat for a tubular treating system comprising:

a single piece body having:

a central portion;

a frustoconical surface extending longitudinally from the central portion in a first direction configured to radially expand slips urged thereagainst;

a collar extending longitudinally from the central portion in a second direction configured to be radially expanded into sealing engagement with a structure in response to a frustoconical member urged thereagainst; and

a seal surface sealably engagable with a plug run thereagainst, the seal surface being longitudinally displaced from the collar in the first direction.

2. The seat for a tubular treating system of claim 1 , wherein the single piece body is metal.

3. The seat for a tubular treating system of claim 1 , wherein the collar is receptive to a seal positioned radially of the collar.

4. The seat for a tubular treating system of claim 3 , wherein the seal positioned radially of the collar is a polymer.

5. The seat for a tubular treating system of claim 1 , wherein pressure on a radially inward portion of the collar is greater than pressure downstream of a plug seated at the seal surface due to a pressure differential built across the seated plug.

6. A tubular anchoring system comprising:

a first frustoconical member;

slips in operable communication with the first frustoconical member being radially expandable into anchoring engagement with a structure in response to longitudinal movement relative to a frustoconical surface of the first frustoconical member;

a collar in operable communication with the first frustoconical member being radially expandable into sealing engagement with the structure in response to longitudinal movement relative to a second frustoconical member; and

a seat in operable communication with the first frustoconical member having a surface configured to be sealingly engagable with a plug runnable thereagainst, the surface being longitudinally positioned relative to the collar so that force generated by the plug longitudinally across the seat when plugged while the collar is sealed to the structure does not generate radial forces on the collar.
