Abstract

A locking assembly for a wellbore valve (39) is provided comprising a cylindrical expandable sleeve (10) insertable into an interior of the valve. After insertion into the valve, the body is expanded into interference with a closing mechanism (34) of the valve (39), thereby locking the valve (39) in an open position.
