The jarring down also releases the third attaching means (422) making the equalizing means (400) and the bottom sub (500) under the equalizing body (410) to be released and separated from the running tool (100) to close the well when not in use or before the well is opened for production.
[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, the completion plug according to this invention is configured to close the well, comprising:
[0065] the first attaching means (204) located between the upper part of the running tool (100) and the safety means (200) is released in order to make the safety means (200) movable to reduce the impact force between the equalizing means (400) and internal of the running tool (100);
[0066] the second attaching means (304) located between the middle part of the running tool (100) and the shearing means (300); and
[0067] the third attaching means (422) located between the lower part of the running tool (100) and the equalizing means (400), releasing and separating the bottom sub (500) at the lower part of the equalizing body (410) from the running tool (100), in order to close the well when said well is not in use or before the well is opened for production.
[0068] In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for configuring the completion plug according to this invention to close the well comprises steps of:
[0069] 1. Dropping the completion plug according to this invention, of which is connected to the wireline or cable at the upper end position of the running tool (100), into the well in order to install said device in the area desired to separate the tubing system, wherein the bottom sub (500) of the completion plug is connected to the other devices used for well completion inside the well.
[0070] 2. Releasing the first attaching means (204) and the third attaching means (422) by jarring down technique by controlling via the wireline or cable.
