TOOL FOR OPENING AND CLOSING SLEEVES WITHIN A WELLBORE

摘要

There is provided a bottomhole assembly for deployment within a wellbore string disposed within a wellbore, the wellbore string including a port and a flow control member, wherein the flow control member is displaceable relative to the port for effecting opening and closing of the port, comprising: a first mandrel; a second mandrel including a locator for becoming disposed within a locate profile of the wellbore string such that resistance to displacement of the second mandrel, relative to the locate profile, is effected, and such that locating of the bottomhole assembly within the wellbore string is thereby effected; a shifting tool including a first gripper surface and a second gripper surface; a first shifting tool actuator, translatable with the first mandrel; and a second shifting tool actuator, translatable with the first mandrel; wherein: the shifting tool is displaceable in response to urging by the first shifting tool actuator that is effected by downhole displacement of the first mandrel relative to the second mandrel, such that the first gripper surface is displaced outwardly to a first gripper surface gripping position for becoming disposed in gripping engagement with the flow control member; the shifting tool is displaceable in response to urging by the second shifting tool actuator that is effected by uphole displacement of the first mandrel relative to the second mandrel, such that the second gripper surface is displaced outwardly to a second gripper surface gripping position for becoming disposed in gripping engagement with the flow control member; and the second mandrel includes a retainer for limiting displacement of the shifting tool, relative to second mandrel, in both of downhole and uphole directions.

1. A bottomhole assembly for deployment within a wellbore string disposed within a wellbore, the wellbore string including a port and a flow control member, wherein the flow control member is displaceable relative to the port for effecting opening and closing of the port, comprising:
a first mandrel; a second mandrel including a locator for becoming disposed within a locate profile of the wellbore string such that resistance to displacement of the second mandrel, relative to the locate profile, is effected, and such that locating of the second mandrel within the wellbore string is thereby effected; a shifting tool including a first gripper surface and a second gripper surface; a first shifting tool actuator, translatable with the first mandrel; and a second shifting tool actuator, translatable with the first mandrel; wherein the shifting tool is co-operatively disposed relative to the second mandrel such that:
the shifting tool is displaceable in response to urging by the first shifting tool actuator that is effected by downhole displacement of the first mandrel relative to the second mandrel such that the first gripper surface is displaced outwardly to a first gripper surface gripping position for becoming disposed in gripping engagement with the flow control member; andthe shifting tool is displaceable in response to urging by the second shifting tool actuator that is effected by uphole displacement of the first mandrel relative to the second mandrel, such that the second gripper surface is displaced outwardly to a second gripper surface gripping position for becoming disposed in gripping engagement with the flow control member.
