Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for remotely operating a downhole tool within a wellbore. The wellbore extends from a ground or subsea surface downward into the earth. The apparatus includes a tool having a production assembly with at least one sleeve adapted for movement from a first sleeve position facilitating entry of formation fluids past the sleeve into the wellbore to a second sleeve position that retards entry of formation fluids. The downhole tool may be configured to resume production following fracturing, gravel packing or other operations without the need for additional trips into the well for the purpose of opening production sleeves. A fluid pressure pulse or electromagnetic signal or other signal may be delivered downhole for remote mechanical actuation of the apparatus.
