  • the system further includes a shifting tool having a seal section configured to engage with the seal bore of the valve system and a shifting section configured to engage with the shifting mechanism of the isolation valve. Bringing the shifting tool into contact with the valve system the valve at least partially actuates the valve. The shifting tool and valve system maintain the effective diameter.
