Abstract
A device for controlling fluid flow in a borehole includes a support structure including a fluid conduit, the fluid conduit defining a flow path having a longitudinal axis, and a valve seat connected to the support structure and disposed within the fluid conduit. The valve seat defines a first engagement surface and has an opening configured to permit fluid flow through the fluid conduit, the first engagement surface having an inclined shape, the inclined shape defining an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. The device also includes a valve member disposed within the fluid conduit, the valve member configured to be actuated to move the valve member between an open position and a closed position, the valve member engaging the first engagement surface to restrict the fluid flow when in the closed position.
