Abstract

A regulating valve assembly for regulating fluid flow through a passage, the assembly having: a back-flow valve (6) comprising a seat (16) and a closure element, wherein the closure element engages with the seat in a closed configuration and disengages from the seat in an open configuration; a lock in mechanical communication with the back-flow valve to lock the back-flow valve in the open configuration; and a forward-flow (18) valve in mechanical communication with the lock and comprising a seat and a closure element, wherein the closure element engages with the seat in a closed configuration and disengages from the seat in an open configuration.

Claims (20)

1. A regulating valve assembly for regulating fluid flow through a passage, comprising:
a back-flow valve comprising a seat and a closure element, wherein the closure element engages with the seat in a closed configuration and disengages from the seat in an open configuration;
a lock in mechanical communication with the back-flow valve to lock the back-flow valve in the open configuration; and a forward-flow valve comprising a seat and a closure element, wherein the forward-flow valve is in mechanical communication with the lock, and the closure element engages with the seat in a closed configuration and disengages from the seat in an open configuration.
2. The regulating valve assembly of claim 1 wherein the closure element of the back-flow valve is a flapper biased to the closed configuration.
3. The regulating valve assembly of claim 1 wherein the lock comprises a sleeve.
4. The regulating valve assembly of claim 1 wherein:
the lock comprises a sleeve;
the sleeve locks the back-flow valve in the open configuration when the sleeve is stung in the seat of the back-flow valve; and the sleeve unlocks the back-flow valve when the sleeve is unstung from the seat of the back-flow valve.
5. The regulating valve assembly of claim 1 wherein the closure element of the forward-flow valve is a flapper biased to the closed configuration.
6. The regulating valve assembly of claim 1 wherein the closure element of the forward-flow valve is a poppet biased to the closed configuration.
7. The regulating valve assembly of claim 1 wherein the lock comprises a sleeve and the forward-flow valve is positioned within the sleeve.
8. The regulating valve assembly of claim 1 further comprising a float plug in mechanical communication with the back-flow valve to restrict back-flow through the back-flow valve when the back-flow valve is locked in the open configuration.
9. The regulating valve assembly of claim 1 wherein the lock comprises a sleeve, and the assembly further comprises a float plug positioned within the sleeve to restrict fluid flow through sleeve.
10. A regulating valve assembly for regulating fluid flow through a passage, comprising:
a back-flow valve comprising a seat and a closure element, wherein the closure element engages with the seat in a closed configuration and disengages from the seat in an open configuration;
a sleeve, wherein the sleeve stings into the seat of the back-flow valve when the back-flow valve is in the open configuration and unstings from the seat of the back-flow valve when the back-flow valve is in the closed configuration; and a forward-flow valve comprising a seat and a closure element, wherein the forward-flow valve is positioned with the sleeve, and the closure element engages with the seat in a closed configuration and disengages from the seat in an open configuration.
11. The regulating valve assembly of claim 10 wherein the closure element of the back-flow valve is a flapper biased to the closed configuration.
12. The regulating valve assembly of claim 10 wherein the closure element of the forward-flow valve is a flapper biased to the closed configuration.
13. The regulating valve assembly of claim 10 wherein the closure element of the forward-flow valve is a poppet biased to the closed configuration.
14. The regulating valve assembly of claim 10 further comprising a float plug positioned within the sleeve to restrict fluid flow through sleeve.
15. A method for reverse-cementing casing in a wellbore, comprising:
locking a back-flow valve in an open configuration and making the back-flow valve up to the casing;
running the casing equipped with the back-flow valve into the wellbore to a target depth;
reverse-circulating a cement composition into an annulus defined in the wellbore by the casing;
taking fluid returns through the back-flow valve as the cement composition is reverse-circulated into the annulus;
unlocking the back-flow valve; and closing the back-flow valve, whereby the cement composition is retained in the annulus by the back-flow valve.
16. The method of claim 15 wherein locking the back-flow valve in the open position comprises stinging a sleeve into a flapper seat of the back-flow valve, and closing the back-flow valve comprises unstinging the sleeve from the flapper seat of the back-flow valve.
17. The method of claim 15 wherein taking fluid returns through the back-flow valve as the cement composition is reverse-circulated into the annulus comprises flowing the returns through a forward-flow valve, and the forward-flow valve allows fluid to flow into the casing inner diameter and restricts fluid flow out of the casing inner diameter.
18. The method of claim 15 wherein unlocking the back-flow valve comprises closing a forward-flow valve to restrict fluid flow from the inner diameter of the casing to the annulus and increasing the fluid pressure in the inner diameter of the casing.
19. The method of claim 15 further comprising restricting fluid flow from the annulus into the inner diameter of the casing so as to float the casing as the casing is run into the wellbore.
20. The method of claim 15 further comprising choking fluid flow from the wellbore into the inner diameter of the casing, wherein fluid flow in the reverse-circulation direction is slowed.
