Abstract

The present invention provides for high volume flow from a well. A retrievable formation isolation valve allows high volume flow through the remaining casing or tubing. Alternatively, a large bore valve configuration that is not retrieved, but remains as part of the casing, can be used. The present invention also includes methods to allow for high volume flow using retrievable isolation valves or large bore valves.
