FluxRiteTM Inflow Control (ICD) Screens: 3.5-7.0


FluxRiteTM is a unique pressure profile control screen designed to not only provide sand control but also to equalize the influx of fluid into the well from the toe to the heel, as well as remove formation damage caused by drilling and completion fluids/operations. Applications Horizontal producers requiring both pressure profile control and sand control Vertical/slanted wells with commingled zones of different pressure and/or permeabilities Any stand alone completion that requires sand control and flow control Gravel pack screen with flow control Thermal wells that require uniform toe-to-heel steam injection In combination with external/swell packers to isolate harmful zones and minimize annular flow Benefits Provides uniform toe-to-heel productivity sweep of reservoir Delays onset of water/gas/steam coning Cleans up formation damage, especially at toe which requires extra drawdown or wont produce Allows harmful zones to be easily choked off (water) or isolated (shale) Increased reserve recovery for higher NPV Advanced Premium media that enhances permeability and is independent of the particle size distribution Designed for severe installation and operational conditions Unlike channel-based or tube-based ICDs, pressure drop is independent of viscosity ICD strength adjustable at the wellsite Features Patented MeshRiteTM Advanced Premium media with high flow perforated shroud protection Nozzle-based ICDs for optimum flow control and viscosity independence High open flow area media with large flow area between media and base pipe to prevent erosion and unwanted flow restrictions By strategically placing inflow control devices (ICDs) along the production zone, one can: a) sweep the well uniformly, b) prevent or delay gas/ water coning, c) choke off unwanted hi-perm water streaks, and d) remove filter cake damage via higher drawdowns, especially at the toe which would otherwise not produce. For injectors (See FluxRiteTM Inject), ICDs can achieve uniform toe-to-heel gas/ water/steam injection and choke off thief zones. FluxRiteTM employs nozzles for flow control, which are superior to channels and tubes because: 1) nozzles choke off water more effectively, and 2) pressure drop (hence flow rate) is independent of viscosity. The result: more oil productionless water production. FluxRiteTM nozzle configuration can be changed at the wellsite to accommodate changes made to the planned well path (e.g., geo-steering) as well as last-minute logging datathereby optimizing the flow control. FluxRiteTM nozzles come in several sizes and are made of tungsten carbide, coated with titanium nitride for enhanced erosion/corrosion resistance. FluxRiteTM uniquely employs the popular and powerful MeshRiteTM sand control media which enhances the retained perm (negative skin) and is independent of the particle size of the reservoir sand. FluxRiteTM inflow control ports can be placed on each joint or can be spaced out over several joints. By optimizing the number of flow control ports a reduction of completion cost can be realized. FluxRiteTM can be combined with packers to isolate problematic zones and minimize annular flow that could significantly reduce oil production and erode screens . The most advanced wellbore/reservoir computer simulation models are available to quickly and accurately design the optimum FluxRiteTM ICD strength for a specific application.

Top performing sand control meets groundbreaking inflow control technology.
