Rather than being activated by large-diameter balls, the Intelliforce CCV is operated by small
RFID tags about the size of a grain of rice. There is no need to pressure up the drillstring to
activate the tool. There is no concern about blocking the primary circulating path through
the drillstring, so wireline or coiled-tubing interventions are possible. One tag can be coded
with multiple sequential opening/closing instructions. The tool can be opened and closed
at predetermined intervals (e.g., to periodically boost annular velocity) by dropping one
activation tag. The ICCV can be opened completely or partially to allow some flow to pass
through the BHA.
Well fluid provides efficient conveyance of the small activation tag, enabling a simple
calculation of when the tool will open or close, based on pump strokes. The ICCV is
hydraulically locked either open or closed. It is not affected by high flow rates, and it is even
possible to reverse-circulate through the tool when it is open. The tool can be configured
with an RFID-activated BHA shut-off device that can be operated using the same activation
tag.
