Downhole valve for production or injection

A downhole valve system, the system comprising:

• a tubing sub with a valve opening in an exterior wall of the tubing sub;
• and
• a valve assembly coupled to the tubing sub, wherein the valve assembly comprises a first port and a second port, wherein the first port is in fluid communication with an interior portion of the tubing sub, wherein the second port is in fluid communication with an exterior portion to the tubing sub,
• wherein the valve assembly is responsive to a remote electronic signal.

A method of operating a downhole valve, comprising:

• providing a remote electrical signal to a valve assembly, wherein the valve assembly is coupled to a tubing string;
• selectively actuating the valve assembly based on the remote electrical signal;
• and
• controlling fluid flow through the valve assembly between an inner portion of the tubing string and an annulus of the tubing string based on the actuation step.

A method of operating a plurality of downhole valves, comprising:

• providing a plurality of downhole valves coupled to a downhole tubular at a plurality of different locations, wherein each of the plurality of downhole valves assemblies is coupled together by an electrical cable;
• selectively actuating at least one of the plurality of downhole valves based on a remote electrical signal provided through the electrical cable;
• and
• controlling fluid flow through the at least one downhole valve between an inner portion of the tubular and an annulus portion of the tubular based on the actuation step.
