DOWNHOLE ACTIVATION ASSEMBLY WITH SLEEVE VALVE AND METHOD OF USING SAME

摘要

A downhole activation assembly for a wellsite is provided. The wellsite has a downhole tool deployable into a wellbore. The activation assembly includes a ball, a housing, an indexing assembly, and a sleeve valve. The housing is operatively connectable to the downhole tool, and has a housing passage for flow of fluid therethrough. The indexing assembly is positionable in the housing, includes a multiple position indexer and an indexing tube, and is operatively connectable to the downhole tool. The sleeve valve includes a fixed sleeve and a movable sleeve positionable in the housing passage of the housing and defines a ball passage therethrough. The sleeve valve has a valve seat defined therein to receive the ball such that the flow of the fluid is selectively restricted through the ball passage. The movable sleeve is engagable with the indexing tube to selectively shift the indexer between multiple positions whereby the downhole tool is selectively activatable.
