Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a landing tool for landing apparatus in a well at a selected location. An expander expands lugs into a groove in the tubing wall to position the landing tool and at the same time releases lugs which are securing a running tool to the landing tool. The running tool illustrated has locator dogs which while the tool is being run can retract into an out of the way position. Upon reverse movement of the running tool in the well these dogs are prevented from retracting until at a predetermined load a snap ring detent is overcome and thereafter movement of the running tool in the well in the original direction will result in the running tool being arrested upon engaging the first shoulder in the tubing. Continued movement in such direction of the running assembly moves a pusher into engagement with the expander on the landing tool to latch the landing tool in the well and release the running tool from the landing tool. Also shown is a pulling tool having a collet which can be run into the landing tool and engage an internal shoulder therein. Subsequent upward pull on the pulling tool will release the landing tool from the well tubing and witndraw it from the well.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
An aNchoring tool comprising, an elongate body, external lug means carried by the body and adapted to be extended into a latching groove in a mandrel, internal lug means carried by the body adapted to be extended above a shoulder on a running tool, said body holding said internal lug means against movement along said elongate body relative to said external lug means while permitting said internal lug means to move laterally of the elongate body, expander means having external land means and groove means cooperable with the external lug means and internal land means and groove means cooperable with the internal lug means, said expander means movable between a running position in which the external groove means cooperates with the external lug means permitting them to retract and the internal land means cooperates with and extends the internal lug means and an anchoring position in which the external land means cooperates with and extends the external lug means and the internal groove means cooperates with and permits the internal lug means to retract.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
174 words
An aNchoring tool comprising, an elongate body, external lug means carried by the body and adapted to be extended into a latching groove in a mandrel, internal lug means carried by the body adapted to be extended above a shoulder on a running tool, said body holding said internal lug means against movement along said elongate body relative to said external lug means while permitting said internal lug means to move laterally of the elongate body, expander means having external land means and groove means cooperable with the external lug means and internal land means and groove means cooperable with the internal lug means, said expander means movable between a running position in which the external groove means cooperates with the external lug means permitting them to retract and the internal land means cooperates with and extends the internal lug means and an anchoring position in which the external land means cooperates with and extends the external lug means and the internal groove means cooperates with and permits the internal lug means to retract.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The tool of claim 1 including means for securing a well tool to the anchoring tool.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The tool of claim 1 in combination with a running tool having a shoulder cooperable with said internal lug means for latching the running and anchoring tools together when the expander means is in running position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
The tool of claim 1 in combination with means for limiting movement of the running and anchoring tools in one direction to position the tools at a selected position in a well while the expander means is shifted to release the tools from each other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
149 words
An anchoring tool comprising, a body, external lug means carried by the body and adapted to be extended into a latching groove in a mandrel, collet means including collet fingers on the body having a socket at the free end of the collet fingers adapted to receive a ball of a running tool, and expander means having external lands means and groove means cooperable with the external lug means and internal land means and groove means cooperable with the collet means, said expander means movable between a running position in which the external groove means cooperates with the external lug means permitting them to retract and the internal land means cooperates with and extends the collet fingers and an anchoring position in which the external land means cooperates with and extends the external lug means and the internal groove means cooperates with and permits the collet fingers to retract.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
149 words
An anchoring tool comprising, a body, external lug means carried by the body and adapted to be extended into a latching groove in a mandrel, collet means including collet fingers on the body having a socket at the free end of the collet fingers adapted to receive a ball of a running tool, and expander means having external lands means and groove means cooperable with the external lug means and internal land means and groove means cooperable with the collet means, said expander means movable between a running position in which the external groove means cooperates with the external lug means permitting them to retract and the internal land means cooperates with and extends the collet fingers and an anchoring position in which the external land means cooperates with and extends the external lug means and the internal groove means cooperates with and permits the collet fingers to retract.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
102 words
The tool of claim 5 in combination with a running tool having, ball means cooperable with said collet for latching the running and anchoring tools together when the expander means is in running position, and means for shifting the expander means to anchoring position to release the running tool from the anchoring tool, and further in combination with means on one of said running, anchoring tools for limiting movement of the running and anchoring tools in one direction to position the tools at a selected position in a well while the expander means is shifted to release the tools from each other.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
191 words
An anchoring tool comprising, a body, external lug means carried by the body and adapted to be extended into a latching groove in a mandrel, internal socket means carried by the body adapted to be extended about a ball on a running tool, expander means having external land means and groove means cooperable with the external lug means, said expander means having internal land means and groove means cooperable with the internal socket means, said expander means movable between a running position in which the external groove means cooperates with the external lug means permitting them to retract and the internal land means cooperates with and extends the internal socket means and an anchoring position in which the external land means cooperates with and extends the external lug means And the internal groove means cooperates with and permits the internal socket means to retract, a running tool having a ball cooperable with said internal socket means for latching the running and anchoring tools together when the expander means is in running position, and means for shifting the expander means to anchoring position to release the running tool from the anchoring tool.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
