Abstract:
A system for completing a well bore, comprises, a string having a housing having an inner diameter, the housing defining an inner channel, a valve seat having an inner diameter coupled to the housing, a flapper pivotally coupled to the valve seat, the flapper configured to move from a first open position to a second closed position; and a sleeve positioned in the inner channel of the valve seat and configured to retain the flapper in the first open position. The flapper has an arcuate orientation that is generally concentric with the housing when the flapper is in the first open position, the flapper isolates a region of the inner channel of the housing below the flapper from a region of the inner channel of the housing above the flapper when the flapper is in a closed position, and the flapper may move to the second closed position when the sleeve is withdrawn from the inner channel of the valve seat.
