Abstract
An actuator sub for generating hydraulic pressure having a sub housing which includes (i) an outer surface, (ii) a main flow passage extending though the sub housing, and (iii) a wall space formed between the main flow passage and the housing outer surface. At least a first hydraulic tube is position in the wall space and an equalization port is configured to transmit pressure in the main flow passage to the first hydraulic tube. A drive motor driving an bi-directional hydraulic motor, are positioned in the first hydraulic tube, with the hydraulic motor being configured to output fluid to a fluid outlet of the first hydraulic tube, and the hydraulic motor, when not under power, allowing the reverse flow of fluid through the hydraulic motor. The actuator sub includes the absence of a check valve along a path carrying fluid between the hydraulic motor and the outlet of the second hydraulic tube.
