Abstract:
A downhole shifting sleeve device includes a first segment and a second segment each including a housing, a sleeve, and a seat surface connected to the sleeve. Each seat surface is configured to engage a plug traveling through an inner bore of the device, which transfers the associated sleeve from a first position to a second position. The seat surface of the second segment is formed by a selective seat assembly. When the first sleeve is in the first position, the selective seat assembly is in a retracted position in which an inner diameter of the selective seat assembly is greater than or equal to an inner diameter of the second sleeve. When the first sleeve is in the second position, the selective seat assembly is in a deployed position in which the inner diameter of the selective seat assembly is less than the inner diameter of the second sleeve.
