Abstract
A valve assembly and a method for controlling a wellbore fluid flow. The valve assembly includes a tubular having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a void. Multiple flow paths paths extend from the inner surface to the outer surface. A flow tube is slideably coupled to the outer surface and movable between a first position preventing a flow of fluid through the flow paths and a second position allowing the flow of fluid through the flow paths. An actuator sub-assembly is operably coupled to the flow tube. The actuator sub-assembly is configured to actuate the flow tube from the first position to the second position responsive to a differential pressure greater than or equal to a threshold differential pressure. The actuator sub-assembly includes a pressure cartridge, a burst disc, a retention shear ring, a retraction power spring, and a pressure chamber.
