  • Publication number: 20240141751
    Abstract: A downhole tool includes a body including a wall having an outer surface, an inner surface defining a passage, and an opening extending through the wall. The outer surface includes a recess. A sleeve is arranged in the passage and selectively positioned over the opening. A valve actuator module is detachably mounted in the recess. The valve actuator module forms a part of the outer surface and includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet, a valve chamber extending between the inlet and the outlet, a piston arranged in the valve chamber, and an actuator delay mechanism selectively operatively connected to the piston. The actuator delay mechanism includes a spring and a piston sleeve that is selectively conducts pressure from the actuator delay mechanism in a first configuration and allows the piston to move freely relative to the actuator delay mechanism in a second configuration.

  • Patent number: 11753904
    Abstract: A valve includes a body having a wall including an outer surface, an inner surface defining a passage, an opening extending from the passage through the outer surface. The outer surface includes a recess. A valve sleeve is arranged in the passage and is selectively positioned over the opening. A valve actuator module is detachably mounted in the recess. The valve actuator module includes a housing having an inlet fluidically exposed to the passage, an outlet fluidically exposed to the valve sleeve, and a valve member arranged between the inlet and the outlet. The valve member includes an actuator delay mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11299945
    Abstract: A counter including a housing disposed about a tubular creating a space therebetween, a piston disposed in the space and responsive to pressure up events in the tubular to compress a transfer chamber, a supply chamber fluidly attached to the transfer chamber; a trigger chamber fluidly attached to the transfer chamber wherein sequential pressure events cause the piston to move fluid from the supply chamber to the trigger chamber. A counter including a fluid incrementing configuration, an activation member in fluid force communication with the fluid incrementing configuration, the activation member having a first position where a fluid port is blocked and a second position where the fluid port is unblocked, the fluid port being fluid pressure connected to a tool to be actuated when the activation member is in the second position.
