ABSTRACT:
A subsurface control valve for use in shutting off a well bore. The valve comprises a valve assembly and a stinger assembly, which is run into the well bore on drill pipe with a packer placed below the valve in the string. The valve is open as the string is run into the well bore, the packer then being set, and a sliding valve in the tool being closed by a plurality of rotations of the stinger assembly, which is removed from the well bore after the sliding valve is closed. To re-open the sliding valve, the stinger assembly is run back into the well bore, into the valve assembly, and rotated a number of times in the opposite direction. The present invention includes a spring-loaded stinger to constantly bias the stinger into engagement with the sliding valve and a bearing on the stinger assembly to facilitate alignment and rotation between the stinger assembly and valve assembly so as to limit the torque applied to the valve assembly.
