  • Patent number: 5911285
    Abstract: An erosion resistant downhole diverter tool (210) comprises a generally cylindrical body (212) which may be configured as a slick sub or may include stabilizing blades (260). Located within the body 212 are a plurality of erosion-resistant, removable, cylindrical inserts (220). Each insert has an aperture (222) formed therein, aligned with a corresponding aperture (218) formed in the cylindrical body (212). Located within the apertures (218) in the cylindrical body (212) are pressure responsive, normally-closed valve assemblies (300), incorporating jet nozzles, which open in response to increased fluid pressure within the tool to provide fluid jets directed into the annulus surrounding the tool in a borehole or the like. The upper ends of the stabilizer blades (260) may include cutting structures to provide a back-reaming function.
