Abstract
A method comprises charging a first hydraulic line to have greater pressure than a second hydraulic line and energizing a solenoid valve, wherein charging the first hydraulic line and energizing the solenoid valve initiates transition of an interval control valve (ICV) from a first state to a second state. The method comprises discontinuing energizing the solenoid valve and maintaining the greater pressure in the first hydraulic line until the ICV reaches a desired state.
