`768 Grounds 2, 3: Motivation to Add Urging
`
`Q. Now,
`
`in your opinion using passage pressure to
`
`maintain the sleeve in its initial position, closed
`
`position,
`
`is an advantage because it avoids premature
`
`actuation, correct?
`
`A.
`
`It's one of the factors that will help to
`
`prevent that by holding it closed,
`
`that is correct.
`
`to use that same pressure to use the actuation also so
`
`it simplifies the tool.
`
`So it's a variety of things
`
`that that use of that passage pressure allows you to do,
`
`and it gives you those two function that I mentioned.
`
`Q. Okay. But one of the advantages that you get
`
`from biassing it closed is avoiding premature actuation,
`
`correct?
`
`that is correct.
`A. Yes,

`Using the pressure also gives you the ability to do ——

`
`Q. Now, it was known before early 2011 that
`
`prematurely actuation was a concern for sliding sleeves
`
`used in down hole applications, correct?
`
`sleeve for whatever reason actuates beforehand
`
`malfunctions that it going to cause probably an
`
`additional cost to the completion of that well if you're
`
`using these sleeves for completions.

`employ an identical shear out structure or memher utilizing,
`a plurality of dogs and a plurality of shear screws. The dogs
`provide for translation of the energy of movement from the
`actuator assembly to the sliding sleeve without imparting
`shear stress to the shear screws. This avoids premature
`failure of the shear screws and increases longevity of the
`tool. In the event the actuation mechanisms of the invention
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`fail, the shear out structure may be shifted uphole to release
`the dogs. Once the dogs have disengaged from the actuation
`drive mechanism, the tool of the invention allows conven-
`
`tional shifting of the insert in the sliding sleeve by employ-
`ing a prior art shifting, tool on shifting profiles.

`
`Q.
`
`So a person of ordinary skill in the art knew
`
`Q- Okay.
`
`A person of ordinary Skill of the art
`
`in 2009 that perforations at the toe of a cemented
`
`in 2009 had a motivation to develop a hydraulically
`
`multi—stage fracturing completion could be successfully
`
`actuated sliding sleeve for use in a cemented
`
`replaced with hydraulically actuated sliding sleeves,
`
`nulti—stage fracturing completion to replace
`
`correct?
`
`perforations at the toe of the well, correct?
`
`A. Could be. But again, you have to go back to
`
`MR- GARRETT:
`
`Same objections.
`
`the sentence you've noted, which was failures in similar
`
`THE WITNESS: Yes,
`
`I WOU1d say that W0U1d
`
`techniques can have catastrophic effects, so you have to
`
`be very careful with the Choice of that hydraulic ——
`that hydraulic actuated sleeve.

`hydraulically actuated sliding sleeves, correct?
`
`knew in 2009 that to replace such for perforations,
