Patent ID: 7779926

Claim:
A method for setting a plug in a cased wellbore, comprising: deploying a tool string in the wellbore using a run-in string, the tool string comprising: a setting tool coupled to the run-in string, the setting tool having an outermost surface with a first maximum outer diameter and a first radial clearance between the first maximum outer diameter and an inner surface of the wellbore casing, an adapter kit, comprising an adapter sleeve, the adapter kit having an outermost surface with a second maximum outer diameter and a second radial clearance between the second maximum outer diameter and the inner surface of the wellbore casing, the first radial clearance being substantially greater than the second radial clearance due to the first maximum outer diameter of the setting tool being substantially less than the second maximum outer diameter of the adapter kit, and a plug comprising a sealing member; actuating the setting tool, wherein the setting tool exerts a force on the adapter sleeve which transfers the force to the plug, thereby expanding the sealing member into engagement with an inner surface of the casing; and separating the setting tool from the plug, wherein the adapter sleeve remains with the plug.
