Abstract

A system is used with a well that has a downhole tool which is responsive to a stimulus. The system includes a fluid circulation path that is connected to circulate a fluid and a flow restrictor that is connected in the fluid circulation path and located at the surface of the well.
A controller causes the flow restrictor to selectively alter flow of the fluid in the circulation path, and a link is coupled to the circulation path to furnish the stimulus to the downhole tool in response to the alteration of flow by the flow restrictor.
