ABSTRACT:
An annulus pressure responsive downhole tool includes a housing with a power piston slidably disposed therein. First and second pressure conducting passages communicate a well annulus exterior of the housing with first and second sides of the power piston. A flow restrictor is disposed in the second pressure conducting passage so that a relatively rapid increase in well annulus pressure creates a pressure differential across the power piston to move the power piston. A volume of silicone oil is contained in a first portion of the second pressure conducting passage between the second side of the power piston and the flow restriction, for accommodating displacement of the power piston as it moves. An operating element is disposed in the housing and movable from an initial position to a final position. The operating element is associated with the power piston so that the power piston moves the operating element from its initial position to an intermediate position. A second stage power device is provided for moving the operating element from its intermediate position to its final position without further compressing the volume of silicone oil contained in the tool.
