Abstract
A valve assembly for use in a wellbore includes a housing defining a bore that extends axially therethrough, a valve seat positioned in the housing, and a valve element movably positioned in the housing. The valve seat and the valve element are concentric to one another, but non-concentric with the housing, such that a centerline defined through the valve seat and the valve element is offset from a central axis of the housing. The valve element is linearly actuatable relative to the housing between a closed position in which the valve element engages the valve seat and blocks the bore and an open position in which the valve element permits flow of fluid therethrough.
