| Sumario: | Inflow Control Devices (IDCs) were developed to avoid water coning problems in long horizontal wells. The model of the ICD consists of pressure drop equations from the reservoir, through the screen, the flow conduit, the ICD nozzle and into the production tubing along with pressure drop through the lower completion system. Evaluating the model shows that turbulent flow through the ICD dominates the pressure drop, indicating density controlled flow. The flow rate will vary with degree of depletion. A new ICD concept can maintain constant flow regardless of the degree of field depletion. |
