Abstract:
A well tool includes a first component, a second component having a passage for receiving the first component, and an anchor assembly. The anchor assembly includes at least one anchor positioned on the first component that is received by at least one profile formed on an inner surface defining the passage of the second component. Either or both of the at least one profile and the at least one anchor include a ramp section that has a ramp contour defined by a ramp tangent. The ramp tangent forms an acute angle with a longitudinal axis of the borehole. A related method includes the steps of forming at least one profile in the second component, the at least one profile including a ramped section; disposing at least one anchor in the first component; and lowering the first component relative to the second component until the first anchor and the first profile align the first component and the second component in a predetermined relative alignment.
