    Abstract: A method includes deploying an assembly in a contracted state on a tool into a well. The assembly includes segments that are adapted to be radially contracted in the contracted state. The method further includes expanding the assembly downhole in the well using the tool to transition the assembly between the contracted state and an expanded state. Expanding the assembly includes using linkages to guide the segments during the expansion.

    Abstract: An embodiment may take the form of a method usable with a well including communicating an untethered object downhole in the well to land the object in a restriction to form a fluid barrier, and using an agent carried by the untethered object to seal at least one gap in the fluid barrier. Another embodiment may take the form of an apparatus usable with a well having a solid component to be deployed and be communicated downhole as an untethered object to land in a restriction in the well to form a fluid barrier and an agent attached to the solid component to seal at least one gap in the fluid barrier.

    Abstract: An apparatus that is usable with a well includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first plurality of segments, and the second portion includes a second plurality of segments. The apparatus is deployable in a tubing string that is installed in the well, and the second plurality of segments is adapted to engage the tubing string and exert a force on the first plurality of segments. The first plurality of segments is adapted to expand to form a seat in the tubing string to receive an untethered object in response to the force, and the second plurality of segments is adapted to be released from the first plurality of segments downhole in the well.

    Abstract: A method includes running an assembly on a tool in a contracted state into a well. The assembly includes segments that are adapted to be radially contracted and arranged in a first number of layers along a longitudinal axis of the assembly in the contracted state of the assembly. The technique includes using the tool to expand the assembly downhole in the well to transition the assembly between the contracted state and an expanded state. Using the tool to expand the seat assembly includes radially expanding the segments and longitudinally contracting the segments to arrange the layers in a second number of layers having at least one layer less than the first number.

    Abstract: A technique includes deploying a seat assembly having a plurality of segments into a tubing string installed in a well and expanding the seat assembly at a downhole location in the well to secure the assembly to the tubing string and form a seat that is adapted to receive an untethered object. The technique includes receiving the untethered object in the seat of the seat assembly and using the received untethered object in the seat assembly to perform a downhole operation in the well.
