  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPLETING AND FLUID TREATING A WELLBORE
    Publication number: 20080135248
    Abstract: A wellbore fluid treatment apparatus capable of being actuated by a sealing device. The apparatus includes a casing including a bore and a casing port opened through the wall of the casing. The apparatus also includes a sleeve located within the casing bore. The sleeve includes a sleeve port opened through the wall of the sleeve and a baffle seat forming an inner flow area and configured to receive the sealing device. The sleeve is moveable by the sealing device between a closed position preventing fluid flow from the bore through the casing port and an open position allowing fluid flow from the bore through the sleeve port and casing port. The apparatus also includes a reverse cement shoe attached to the casing. The reverse cement shoe has a valve that allows the casing to be cemented by displacing cement only on the outside of the casing.
