Telemetry module with push only gate valve action

A well system, comprising:

• a tubular member extendable within a wellbore, the tubular member defining an annulus port that provides fluid communication between an interior of the tubular member and an annulus defined between the tubular member and the wellbore;
• a telemetry module positioned within the tubular member and including:
• a valve assembly that provides a gate defining one or more gate valve flow ports and a valve seat defining one or more valve seat flow ports;
• a first solenoid assembly arranged on a first side of the valve assembly and including a first push solenoid that operates to move the gate in a first direction;
• and
• a second solenoid assembly arranged on a second side of the valve assembly and including a second push solenoid that operates to move the gate in a second direction opposite the first direction,
• wherein moving the gate in the first direction with the first solenoid increases flow through the gate and alternately moving the gate in the second direction with the second solenoid decreases flow through the gate.

A method, comprising:

• introducing a telemetry module into a wellbore, the telemetry module being positioned within an interior of a tubular member and providing a valve assembly that includes a gate movable with respect to a valve seat, the telemetry module further including a first solenoid assembly arranged on a first side of the valve assembly and having a first push solenoid, and a second solenoid assembly arranged on a second side of the valve assembly and having a second push solenoid, wherein the first side is opposite the second side;
• circulating a fluid through the interior of the tubular member, the tubular member defining an annulus port that provides fluid communication between an annulus defined between the tubular member and the wellbore and the interior via the valve assembly;
• activating the first push solenoid to move the gate in a first direction and increase flow through the gate, thereby injecting a portion of the fluid into the annulus via the valve assembly and thereby generating a pressure pulse within the annulus;
• activating the second push solenoid to move the gate in a second direction opposite the first direction to decrease flow through the gate;
• and
• alternatingly activating the first and second push solenoids to selectively move the gate in the first and second directions and thereby injecting portions of the fluid into the annulus that generate a plurality of pressure pulses within the annulus.
