Resettable sliding sleeve for downhole flow control assemblies

A well system, comprising:

• a downhole completion positioned within a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation;
• a flow control assembly included in the downhole completion and comprising:
• a housing defining one or more chamber ports that place an outer interior of the housing in fluid communication with a wellbore annulus and one or more flow ports that place an inner interior of the housing in fluid communication with the wellbore annulus;
• a sliding sleeve defining one or more sleeve ports and movably positioned within the housing between a first position, where fluid communication between the inner interior and the wellbore annulus via the one or more flow ports is prevented, and a second positon, where fluid communication between the inner interior and the wellbore annulus is facilitated through the one or more sleeve ports and the one or more flow ports;
• a piston movably arranged within a piston chamber defined between the housing and the sliding sleeve, the piston having a first end exposed to an inner interior pressure and a second end exposed to an annulus pressure via the one or more chamber ports defined in the housing when in the first position;
• a slip device movably arranged within the piston chamber;
• and
• a biasing device positioned within the piston chamber, wherein increasing the annulus pressure moves the piston and the slip device relative to the sliding sleeve in a first direction within the piston chamber to compress the biasing device, and
• wherein overcoming the annulus pressure allows the biasing device to expand and move the piston and the slip device in a second direction within the piston chamber and the slip device engages the sliding sleeve to move the sliding sleeve toward the second position.

A method, comprising:

• increasing an annulus pressure within a wellbore annulus defined between a flow control assembly positioned within a wellbore and wall of the wellbore, the flow control assembly comprising:
• a housing defining one or more chamber ports that place an outer interior of the housing in fluid communication with a wellbore annulus and one or more flow ports that place an inner interior of the housing in fluid communication with the wellbore annulus;
• a sliding sleeve defining one or more sleeve ports and movably positioned within the housing between a first position, where fluid communication between the inner interior and the wellbore annulus via the one or more flow ports is prevented, and a second positon, where fluid communication between the inner interior and the wellbore annulus is facilitated through the one or more sleeve ports and the one or more flow ports;
• a piston movably arranged within a piston chamber defined between the housing and the sliding sleeve, the piston having a first end exposed to an inner interior pressure and a second end exposed to an annulus pressure via the one or more chamber ports defined in the housing when in the first position;
• a slip device movably arranged within the piston chamber;
• and
• a biasing device positioned within the piston chamber;
• moving the piston and the slip device relative to the sliding sleeve in a first direction within the piston chamber as the annulus pressure increases;
• compressing the biasing device as the piston and the slip device move in the first direction;
• overcoming the annulus pressure and thereby allowing the biasing device to expand and move the piston and the slip device in a second direction within the piston chamber;
• and
• engaging the sliding sleeve with the slip device and thereby moving the sliding sleeve toward the second position.
