1. A selective tool apparatus, comprising:
- a cage mandrel having a fluid passageway therethrough and a seat insert located therein and coupled adjacent a lower end thereof, said seat insert having a fluid passage extending therethrough and having a first seal ring located adjacent an upper end of said fluid passage;
a locator mandrel having a fluid passageway therethrough and coupled to said cage mandrel adjacent said lower end of said cage mandrel;
a key prop mandrel slidably coupled to and extending over said cage mandrel, a lower end of said key prop mandrel including key props;
a key having first and second opposing sections located about an outer perimeter and adjacent an upper end of said locator mandrel, wherein said key props are slidable with respect to said key and positionable between a first section and said outer perimeter of said locator mandrel and a second section and said outer perimeter of said locator mandrel, respectively, when said key is in a deployed position; and
a drop seal having a first end coupled to an upper end of said key prop mandrel and a second end that is slidably captured within said cage mandrel, said second end configured to be received within an upper end of said seat insert to form a seal between said fluid passageway of said cage mandrel and said fluid passageway of said locator mandrel.

Abstract
A selective service tool has a key prop mandrel that is slidably coupled to and extends over a cage mandrel. The lower end of the key prop mandrel has key props that extend from its lower end. A key has first and second opposing sections located about an outer perimeter and adjacent an upper end of the locator mandrel, wherein the key props are slidable with respect to the key and are positionable between the first section and the outer perimeter of the locator mandrel and the second section and the outer perimeter of the locator mandrel, respectively, when the key is in a deployed position.

8. A well servicing system, comprising:
-
a servicing rig having a tubing associated therewith, said tubing positionable within a production tubing of a well that has at least one landing nipple located along its length; a servicing tool for testing said production tubing of said well, said servicing tool comprising; a cage mandrel having a fluid passageway therethrough and a seat insert located therein and coupled adjacent a lower end thereof, said seat insert having a fluid passage extending therethrough and having a first seal ring located adjacent an upper end of said fluid passage of said cage mandrel; a locator mandrel coupled to said cage mandrel adjacent said lower end and having a fluid passageway therethrough; a key prop mandrel slidably coupled to and extending over said cage mandrel, a lower end of said key prop mandrel including key props; a key having first and second opposing sections located about an outer perimeter and adjacent an upper end of said locator mandrel, and having an outer diameter profile that is cooperatively engageable with a landing nipple profile of said production tubing of said well, wherein said key props are slidable with respect to said key and positionable between said first section and said outer perimeter of said locator mandrel and between said second section and said outer perimeter of said locator mandrel, respectively, when said key is in a deployed position; a drop seal having a first end coupled to an upper end of said key prop mandrel, and a second end that is slidably captured within said cage mandrel and being configured to be received within an upper end of said seat insert to form a seal between said fluid passageway of said cage mandrel and said fluid passageway of said locator mandrel; and a key retainer that is slidably positionable from a retaining position to a retracted position with respect to said key to allow said key to move to said deployed position. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of testing a production tubing in a well, comprising:
-
attaching a service tool to a service tubing, said service tool comprising; a cage mandrel having a fluid passageway therethrough and a seat insert located therein and coupled adjacent a lower end thereof, said seat insert having a fluid passage extending therethrough and having a first seal ring located adjacent an upper end of said fluid passage; a locator mandrel coupled to said cage mandrel adjacent said lower end and having a fluid passageway therethrough; a key having first and second opposing sections located about an outer perimeter and adjacent an upper end of said locator mandrel; and a key prop mandrel slidably coupled to and extending over said cage mandrel, said key prop mandrel having key props that are slidable with respect to said key and positionable between said first section of said key and said outer perimeter of said locator mandrel and said second section of said key and said outer perimeter of said locator mandrel, respectively, when said key is in a deployed position; using said service tubing to position said service tool at a first location within said well; moving said key to said deployed position; moving said service tool, uphole, until said key engages a first landing nipple profile of a production tubing; positioning said key props between said first section and said outer perimeter and said second section and said outer perimeter of said locator mandrel, respectively, when said key is engaged with said landing nipple profile; moving a drop seal into said seat insert to engage said first seal ring to create a seal between said fluid passageway of said cage mandrel and said fluid passageway of said locator mandrel; and pressuring said production tubing of said well, uphole of said seal. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
