Abstract:
A downhole assembly includes a tool-orienting device including an operating unit that obtains downhole measurements and a pulse-generating device that transmits the downhole measurements to orient a downhole tool. A restrictor sub is coupled to the tool-orienting device and includes a nozzle that restricts fluid flow therethrough, and a circulating valve is coupled to the restrictor sub and includes a nozzle that restricts fluid flow therethrough. A liner running tool is coupled to the circulating valve to convey a liner and a pressure-activated tool into the wellbore. The pulse-generating device operates with a fluid at a first pressure and the restrictor sub is actuatable by increasing the first pressure to a second pressure. The circulating valve is actuated by the fluid at a third pressure and the pressure-activated tool is activated by increasing third pressure to a fourth pressure.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the restrictor sub comprises a body that defines a central flow passage and a counter bore, an outer sleeve secured within the central flow passage and defining one or more upper ports and one or more lower ports, and an inner sleeve concentrically arranged within the outer sleeve and defining one or more upper ports above and one or more lower ports, and wherein increasing the first pressure to the second pressure to actuate the restrictor sub comprises:\n impinging the fluid at the second pressure on the first nozzle of the restrictor sub, the first nozzle being positioned within an inner flow path of the inner sleeve that fluidly communicates with the central flow passage; applying an axial load on the inner sleeve based on the fluid at the second pressure and thereby shearing one or more shearable devices that secure the inner sleeve to the outer sleeve; and moving the inner sleeve from a first position within the outer sleeve, where the upper and lower ports of the inner and outer sleeves, respectively, are misaligned, to a second position, where the upper and lower ports of the inner and outer sleeves, respectively, align and allow fluid flow through both the first nozzle and around the first nozzle by flowing through the aligned upper and lower ports and the counter bore.
