Abstract

A method to connect a lifting assembly to a bore of a downhole tubular includes providing a communication tool (10) to a distal end of the lifting assembly, the communication tool comprising a body assembly (15), an engagement assembly (20), a valve assembly (40) and a seal assembly (60), sealingly engaging a first portion of the seal assembly in the bore of the downhole tubular, selectively permitting fluid to flow between the lifting assembly and the downhole tubular with the valve assembly, and disengaging the first portion of the seal assembly from the bore of the downhole tubular.
