Patent 10480284 was granted and assigned to Silverwell Energy Limited on November, 2019 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A downhole tool has a pressure differential from one side of the tool to the other. The pressure differential is balanced across the actuating assembly and tool surfaces to minimize the force required to move a portion of the tool, such as a valve, between a first position to a second position, such as when opening or closing a downhole valve.
