Patent ID: 7322416

Claim:
A method of servicing a well bore comprising: deploying into the well bore a zonal isolation device operable to self-set at a sensed location; self-setting the zonal isolation device to hold at the sensed location without receiving command communications from the surface; deploying a perforating gun into the well bore after the device is set; firing the gun to form a set of perforations; and pumping a servicing fluid down the well bore to a location above the set device; wherein: the zonal isolation device is deployed along at least a partial length of the well bore via an external force; the device seals the well bore at the sensed location; the servicing fluid is a fracturing fluid; the fracturing fluid enters and fractures a formation via the set of perforations in the well bore; and wherein deployment of the gun is stopped when a spacing component engages both the set device and the perforating gun.
