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 17):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the circulating valve comprises a body defining a central flow passage and one or more radial ports, an outer sleeve secured within the central flow passage and defining one or more transition ports, and an inner sleeve concentrically arranged within the outer sleeve and defining one or more circulating ports, and wherein pumping the fluid at the third pressure through the circulating valve to actuate the circulating valve comprises:\n impinging the fluid at the third pressure on the second nozzle of the circulating valve, the second 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 third 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 circulating and transition ports are aligned and facilitate fluid communication between the inner flow path and an exterior of the body via the one or more radial flow ports, and a second position, where the circulating and transition ports are misaligned and thereby prevent fluid communication between the inner flow path the exterior via the one or more radial flow ports.
