Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to downhole tools, including downhole valves, which actuate via a pressure differential created across a shifting element having one or more pressure surfaces isolated from fluid, and fluid pressure, flowing through the interior flowpath. Embodiment downhole tools of the present disclosure may actuate in response to, among other signals, fluid pressure in the interior flowpath of the tool and fluid pressure communicated to a pressure surface of the shifting sleeve from the exterior of the tool. Certain embodiments may also have an outlet connector whereby fluid pressure from the downhole tool may be communicated to its exterior, including to additional tools in the tubing strings via flowlines connecting the two tools. Isolation of the shifting element from the interior flowpath may be accomplished using a frangible, shiftable, degradable or other member which may be moved from a closed state to an open state in response to fluid conditions in the interior flowpath.

Claim (Index 6):
A downhole tool having an interior flowpath and an exterior, the downhole tool comprising:\n a first tubular member; a first at least one port through the tubular member connecting the interior flowpath with the exterior; a shifting sleeve having a first end and a second end, the shifting sleeve positioned adjacent to the tubular member and preventing fluid communication through the at least one port from the interior flowpath to the exterior of the tool; and a fluid control device; wherein, the first end and the second end are in fluid isolation from the interior flowpath, the exterior, and each other; actuation of the fluid control device permits fluid communication between the interior flowpath and the first end, allowing fluid pressure from the interior flowpath to apply force for moving the shifting sleeve relative to the at least one port; and movement of the shifting sleeve permits fluid communication between the interior flowpath and the exterior through the first at least one port.
