Abstract
An actuation device comprises a housing comprising one or more ports, a magnetic valve component, and a central flowbore. The central flowbore is configured to receive a disposable member configured to emit a magnetic field, and the magnetic valve component is configured to radially shift from a first position to a second position in response to interacting with the magnetic field.
Claims20
An actuation device comprising:
- a housing comprising one or more ports, a magnetic valve component, and a central flowbore,
- wherein the central flowbore is configured to receive a disposable member configured to emit a magnetic field, and
- wherein the magnetic valve component is configured to radially shift from a first position to a second position in response to interacting with the magnetic field.
A method of actuating a magnetic valve in a wellbore comprising:
- preventing, by a magnetic valve component disposed about a wellbore tubular, fluid flow through a fluid pathway in a wellbore assembly in a first direction, wherein the fluid pathway is configured to provide fluid communication between an exterior of a wellbore assembly and an interior of the wellbore assembly;
- passing a magnetic member through a central flowbore of the wellbore assembly;
- wherein the disposable member comprises a magnetic field;
- transitioning at least one magnetic valve component from a first position to a second position in response to the magnetic field of the magnetic member;
- and
- allowing fluid flow through the fluid pathway in the first direction in response to the transitioning of the at least one magnetic valve component.
