Abstract

See full text

A method of controlling operation of multiple valves interconnected in a tubular string in a subterranean well can include opening each of the valves, and then closing the valves in response to an application of pressure to the tubular string. A well system can include multiple valves interconnected in a tubular string, each of the valves including an actuator, and a valve control device interconnected in the tubular string. The valve control device may be connected to each of the valve actuators via multiple flow paths, whereby a pressure differential generated between the flow paths is also generated in each of the valve actuators.
