A valve assembly for an inflatable packer includes an opening valve configured to actuate into an open position in response to a first pressure within a tubular string, so as to permit fluid flow from the tubular string, through the valve assembly, and into an inflatable packer element. The valve assembly also includes a closing valve configured to actuate into a closed position so as to prevent fluid flow from the tubular string, through the valve assembly, and into the inflatable packer element in response to a second pressure within the inflatable packer element. The valve assembly also includes a contingency valve configured to actuate into a closed position so as to prevent fluid flow from the tubular string, through the valve assembly, and into the inflatable packer element in response to a third pressure in the tubular string.

Valve assembly for inflatable packers

A downhole tool includes a tubular, an inner valve assembly positioned in the tubular, and a body positioned radially between the inner valve assembly and the tubular, the body at least partially made from a bonding agent configured to secure the inner valve assembly in the tubular.

Downhole tool securable in a tubular string

A downhole tool includes a generally-cylindrical body at least partially made of a cast material, a valve positioned within the body, a first fin positioned on the body and extending outwards therefrom, and a second fin positioned on the body and extending outwards therefrom. The first and second fins are configured to engage an inside diameter surface of an oilfield tubular and retain a bonding material in an annular region defined radially between the body and the inside diameter surface of the oilfield tubular, and axially between the first and second fins.
