A downhole tool including a gravel pack assembly, a remotely addressable actuator connected to the gravel pack assembly, and a valve responsive to the actuator, the valve opening and closing a washdown path through the tool. A method for gravel packing a borehole including running a tool to a target depth in the borehole, flowing washdown fluid through the tool, sending an electric signal to the actuator to close the valve, and flowing through a cross over port of the gravel pack assembly. A borehole system including a borehole in a subsurface formation, a tool disposed within the borehole.

Downhole tool, method and system

A fracture tool and a system includes a housing having a port, a sleeve disposed adjacent the housing and movable relative to the housing between a first position where the sleeve blocks the port and a second position where the sleeve unblocks the port, and a biaser operably connected between the housing and the sleeve. The biaser biases the sleeve to the first position. A method for fracturing a formation and producing a fluid includes opening a fracture sleeve, shifting a pressure-operated valve from an unarmed position to an armed position based upon the opening of the fracture sleeve. The method further includes applying fracture pressure to the formation, allowing the fracture sleeve to automatically close, actuating the valve with applied pressure, and flowing fluid through the valve. A borehole system including a borehole in a subsurface formation, and a fracture and production system disposed in the borehole.
