An upper-completion single trip system is described which includes a
hydraulic internal seal receptacle assemble. The HISR assembly includes
an overshot assembly selectively connected to a mandrel assembly. Once
fully actuated, relative axial motion therebetween is allowed, which
provides a spacer apparatus for the tubing above and below the HISR
assembly. A shearable anchor latch as well as an indexing mule shoe are
also provided in the HISR system, which allow multiple completion steps
to be performed in a single trip. The HISR system is particularly
well-suited for installation of permanent downhole gauges or intelligent
systems--installations where rotation of pipe is prohibited. The system
is also particularly well-suited for submersible pumps. A method of
performing multiple completion activities in a single trip is also
described.
