Abstract

An equalizing apparatus is provided for use in a wellbore tool string which includes a wireline-conveyable source of pressurized fluid which selectively discharges fluid, a wireline-conveyable fluid-pressure actuable wellbore tool which is operable in a plurality of modes of operation including at least a running mode of operation with the wireline-conveyable fluid-pressure actuable wellbore tool in a running condition and a actuated mode of operation with the wireline-conveyable fluid-pressure actuable wellbore tool in an actuated condition, a flow path for communicating fluid from the wireline-conveyable source of pressurized fluid and the wireline-conveyable fluid-pressure actuable wellbore tool, and a wireline assembly which is coupled thereto for delivery of the wireline-conveyable source of pressurized fluid and the wireline-conveyable fluid-pressure actuable wellbore tool to a selected location within a wellbore.
