Remotely operated wireless valve actuator assembly

A valve sub assembly comprising:

• a) a valve sub comprising a sub housing, a ball valve disposed within the sub housing, a valve stem configured to rotate the ball valve between an open position and a closed position, and a stem aperture extending through the sub housing to reach the valve stem;
• b) a remotely operated wireless valve actuator assembly, comprising:
• i) an actuator unit mounted on the valve sub, the actuator unit comprising an actuator stem extending through the stem aperture and engaging the valve stem;
• ii) a power unit mounted on the valve sub;
• and
• iii) a supply line connecting the power unit to the actuator unit, wherein the power unit is configured to operate the actuator unit to rotate the actuator stem, wherein rotation of the actuator stem causes rotation of the valve stem, wherein rotation of the valve stem causes the ball valve to move between an open position and a closed position within the valve sub.

A method of actuating a remotely operated wireless valve actuator assembly, the method comprising:

• a) mounting a power unit to a valve sub, the valve sub comprising a sub housing, a ball valve disposed within the sub housing, a valve stem configured to rotate the ball valve between an open position and a closed position, and a stem aperture extending through the sub housing to reach the valve stem;
• b) mounting an actuator unit to the valve sub, the actuator unit comprising an actuator stem, wherein upon mounting the actuator stem extends through the stem aperture and engages the valve stem;
• c) connecting the actuator unit to the power unit via a supply line;
• d) receiving a remote user input at the power unit;
• e) sending a control signal from the power unit to the actuator unit via the supply line to cause the actuator unit to rotate the actuator stem, thereby rotating the valve stem to move the ball valve between the open position and the closed position.
