Abstract
An unloading valve for use in evacuating fluids from a wellbore annulus. The unloading valve can include a valve body, an intake to the valve body, a discharge from the valve body, and an induced pressure differential valve control system configured to automatically close the intake to the valve body in response to a change in the density of fluids passing through the unloading valve. In some embodiments, the induced pressure differential valve control system includes a flow sleeve, a valve element, a draw tube and a biasing spring. The flow sleeve includes a flow constriction that produces a pressure differential (AP) as the fluids pass through the flow sleeve that is communicated by the draw tube to the valve element. The biasing spring is configured to urge the valve element into a closed position when the pressure differential (AP) falls below a threshold value.
