DOWNHOLE VALVE ASSEMBLY WITH CEMENT-ISOLATED FLOWPATH
摘要:
A valve assembly for integration within a wellbore string is provided. The valve assembly has a valve housing with a housing port, a bottom sleeve mounted and slidable within the valve housing between closed and open positions, and a top sleeve mounted within the valve housing and defining an annular region therebetween. The top sleeve has a sleeve port and is slidable within the valve housing between a first position where the top sleeve engages the valve housing and defines an annular chamber within the annular region, and a production position where the sleeve port is in fluid communication with the housing port to define a fluid pathway along which fluids flow from the reservoir through the annular chamber. While in the first position, the annular chamber has an inlet allowing fluid to flow into and pressurize the annular chamber to prevent particulates from flowing into the annular region.
