Force balanced dual valve systems for steering tool and methods of using the same

A method of generating a differential pressure in a fluid passageway in a housing, the method comprising:

• actuating a system between a first position to generate a first pressure differential across the fluid passageway of the system and a second position to generate a second pressure differential across the fluid passageway of the system, the system comprising:
• the fluid passageway;
• a first valve member disposed in the fluid passageway;
• a first flow restrictor in the fluid passageway guiding to a first chamber;
• an actuator configured to move the first valve member to restrict a fluid flow through the first flow restrictor to generate a first differential pressure across the fluid passageway;
• a second valve member disposed in the fluid passageway;
• a second flow restrictor in the fluid passageway guiding to a second chamber,
• the second valve member movable by the actuator to restrict a fluid flow through the second flow restrictor to generate a second differential pressure across the fluid passageway;
• a first force balancing component mechanically connected to the first valve member, the first force balancing component in a first bore between the first chamber and a first channel;
• a second force balancing component mechanically connected to the second valve member, the second force balancing component in a second bore between the second chamber and a second channel:
• the first chamber in fluid communication with the second channel by a first fluid connection;
• the second chamber in fluid communication with the first channel by a second fluid connection;
• and
• a locomotive connection between the first valve member and the second valve member.
