Abstract

A method for fracturing a wellbore in a formation, including positioning one or more bidirectional rotary sleeves on tubular members into the wellbore; engaging a unidirectional rotary source in a first position with a first bidirectional rotary sleeve of the one or more bidirectional rotary sleeves; operating the unidirectional rotary source to rotate the first bidirectional rotary sleeve in a first rotational direction to open at least one port in the first bidirectional rotary sleeve for providing an open fluid pathway between the first bidirectional rotary sleeve and the formation; pumping fluid through the tubular members and through the opened port to fracture the formation; engaging the unidirectional rotary source in a second position with the first bidirectional rotary sleeve; and operating the unidirectional rotary source to rotate first bidirectional rotary sleeve in a second rotational direction to close the at least one port in the first bidirectional rotary sleeve.
