Abstract

An actuating apparatus comprises a sleeve disposed within a wellbore tubular, at least one actuable member, and a deformable seat engaged to the sleeve. The sleeve is configured to longitudinally translate along the wellbore tubular interior, and at least one actuable member engages the sleeve and the wellbore tubular. The deformable seat is configured to form a sealing engagement with a driving member, and the deformable seat is configured to deform in response to the driving member passing through the deformable seat.
