Abstract

An isolation system and method for use in a wellbore that passes through a formation includes a flow conduit (124) capable of receiving a fluid flow from the formation and an isolation system (100) coupled to the flow conduit (124) and including one or more uni-directional flow control devices (152). Each uni-directional flow control device (152) may be ball-type check valve, plate-type check valve, and flapper-type check valve. The one or more uni-directional flow control devices (152) are adapted to be opened by fluid flow from the formation and to be closed by pressure from a fluid column in the flow conduit (124) when the fluid flow is shut off. In another arrangement, an isolation system and method includes a valve (20), a string having a flow conduit (28) (e.g., tubing, flow tube, etc.) and a lower end, and an actuation tool (36) (e.g., a shifting tool) attached to the lower end of the string and adapted to operate the valve (20) if the string is lowered into or raised out of the wellbore.
