Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an inflow control device for use in regulating the flow of fluid in a horizontal subterranean wellbore.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- In long horizontal wellbores, water or gas coning has a tendency to develop near the heel of the wellbore, because of the buildup of frictional pressure loss towards the toe in the base pipe. The total oil recovery from the well may be significantly reduced as coning results in a much lower oil production rate, which, if allowed to continue, eventually makes the well unprofitable.
- Inflow control devices are used to regulate the amount of fluid flowing into the base pipe to avoid coning and to achieve a preferential production of profile. One type of input control device may be deployed via the sand screen assembly. A sand screen joint is usually between 35 and 40 feet long and one inflow control device may be fabricated as part of that joint. Typically, the inflow control device comprises a nozzle through which production fluid may pass. On the upstream side of the nozzle, a plurality of openings are formed in the base pipe, and the number and size of the openings dictate the level of flow of production fluid through that joint.
- The anticipated pressure profile for the well is used in designing the sand screen/inflow control device joints in a production string, with the number and size of the openings in the base pipe being greater at a joint near the toe than at a joint near the heel of the production tubing. The number and configuration of sand screen/inflow control device combinations in a given wellbore are thus different from one another and are the result of a unique design effort for each wellbore. Sand screen/inflow control device combinations have typically been designed and manufactured at one location and shipped to the wellbore site where they are assembled. The joints must then be assembled in a particular order at the well site in accordance with the design criteria. The drawbacks from using this technique are that errors in assembly may occur at the well site and substantial time and money are required to design and fabricate a production string unique to each wellbore.
- In accordance with the present invention, an inflow control device is provided for use in controlling the flow of fluid into a production tubing in a subterranean wellbore. The input control device comprises a body with two ends comprising inner and outer concentric tubular members with an annulus between the members, where the annulus is closed at one end of the body and open at the other end of the body. An opening is formed in the inner tubular member proximate the end of the body which is closed, and a wall is disposed in the annulus between the first and second ends of the body. An orifice is disposed in the wall in the annulus to permit communication of fluid from one of the body to other.
- In accordance with the present invention, the orifice has an opening which is variable in size. Thus, a given production tubing may be implemented using an inflow control device whose flow control characteristics may be adjusted in the field. In one embodiment of the present invention, the orifice comprises a variable pressure control valve while in another embodiment of the invention, the orifice comprises a variable relief valve. In yet a further embodiment of the invention, the adjustable orifice comprises an opening formed in the wall between the first and second ends of the body and the plate for adjusting the size of the opening through which fluid may flow when the inflow control device is part of the production tubing.
- In accordance with the present invention, apparatus is provided for controlling the flow of fluid from the subterranean wellbore into a production tubing in that subterranean wellbore. The apparatus comprises a plurality of sand screen assemblies which are connected together in tandem. An uninterrupted path exists through the sand screen assemblies for fluid to flow.
- An inflow control device is coupled to the upstream end of the plurality of sand screen assemblies for controlling the flow of fluid into the production tubing.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, the aforesaid apparatus includes an inflow control device as described above.
