A well packing system and method for operating a well packing system wherein an isolation string assembly has a lower circulation valve with lateral flow ports that are operated to an open position without the use of shifters on a wash pipe. The isolation string assembly is incorporated into a well packing assembly within a wellbore and includes an upper sleeve tool that provides selective production of fluids through the frac pack assembly. In addition, the isolation string includes a lower circulation valve having a sliding sleeve that is shiftable from an open position to a closed position upon receipt of a suitable pressure differential. This configuration is particularly valuable for permitting monitoring of pressure or other conditions in the annulus of the wellbore portion being packed during packing operations. Further, the lower circulation valve tool can be used to selectively allow fluid returns during the packing operation.
An isolation string for providing selective communication of fluid between an interior flowbore of the isolation string and a wellbore portion surrounding the isolation string, the isolation string being disposed radially within a screen in a well packing system, defining an axial flowbore within and comprising:
A well packing system for placing solids in a wellbore and subsequently producing production fluid from the wellbore, the well packing system comprising:
A method of conducting a well packing operation within a wellbore, comprising the steps of:
