1. A system, comprising:
a wellhead on a surface of a wellbore, wherein a blowout preventer is disposed on top of the wellhead;
a tubing string disposed within the wellbore;
a cable extending downward into the wellbore from the blowout preventer and the wellhead, wherein the cable is connected to a bottomhole assembly within the wellbore;
a subsurface safety valve disposed in the tubing string; and
an opening sleeve tool attached to the cable, the opening sleeve tool comprising:
a top portion configured to land on an upper most end of the subsurface safety valve; and
a tubular portion defining a bore extending downward a length from the top portion,
wherein an end of the tubular portion distal to the top portion is configured to force a gate valve of the subsurface safety valve to move from a closed position to an open position; and
wherein an inner diameter of the tubular portion is greater than an outer diameter of the bottomhole assembly.
