RTTS Circulating Valve

The RTTS Circulating Valve is a locked-open/locked-closed valve that
serves as both a circulating valve and bypass. The clearance between
the RTTS Packer (or any hookwall packer) and the casing ID is rela-
tively small. To reduce the effect of fluid- swabbing action when the tool is
run in or pulled out of the hole, a packer bypass is generally used.

Features and Benefits

 The valve can be locked closed when the packer is unset to
reverse fluid around the bottom of packer.
 The tool's full opening allows tubing-type guns and other wireline
equipment to pass.

Operation

The RTTS Circulating Valve is automatically locked in the closed position

when the packer is set. During testing and squeezing opera- tions, the
lock helps prevent the valve from being pumped open. A straight J-slot in
the locked-open position can be used with the straight J-slot in the
packer body. This combination eliminates the need to turn the tubing to
close the circulating valve or reset the packer after the tubing has been
displaced with cement.

The RTTS Circulating Valve may be run directly above the packer body
or further up the workstring.

When placed in the hole, the valve must be in the locked-open position. The J-slot in the
packer-body drag block (or drag sleeve) must also be placed in the locked position.

When the circulating valve is opened to come out of the hole, the tubing is lowered, turned to
the right, and picked up.
