Abstract:
1. An actuation assembly configured to be disposed in a wellbore through a fluid-producing formation, the actuation assembly comprising: a body; a potential force in the body; a device in the body that is configured to cause the potential force to be released from the body in response to detecting a signal identifying a target device in the wellbore and external to the actuation assembly; and at least two chemicals in the body adapted to provide the potential force, wherein the device is configured to cause the potential force to be released by allowing the at least two chemicals to mix, and wherein the body is configured to communicate a pressure resulting from a reaction of the at least two chemicals in a direction away from the actuation assembly and toward the target device, wherein the body defines a port through which the pressure is communicated from the body to the target device external to the actuation assembly.
