- the annular barriers may or may not provide a complete seal between the tubing string and the wellbore.
- the flow control devices may serve numerous functions.
- the flow control devices may function as filter media such as a wire wrap screen, a woven wire mesh screen, a prepacked screen or the like, with or without an outer shroud positioned therearound, designed to allow fluids to flow therethrough but prevent particulate matter of a predetermined size from flowing therethrough.
- the flow control devices may function as inflow control devices to regulate the flow of a production fluid stream during the production phase of well operations or as outflow control devices to control the flow of an injection fluid stream during a treatment phase of well operations or both.
- the inflow and outflow control may be accomplished using the same or different components within the flow control devices such that the desired flowrates are achieved.
- the flow control devices are also operable to dynamically respond to local well conditions to control the inflow of formation fluids or the outflow of injection fluids through the various zones of the wellbore. It is noted that the function of inflow or outflow control during production or injection operations and the function of dynamic response to wellbore conditions may be performed by the same or different components within the flow control devices.
- inflow or outflow control during production or injection operations may be achieved using fluid flow resistors such as nozzles, flow tubes, labyrinths or other tortuous path flow resistors, as well as vortex chambers or other fluidic diodes, matrix chambers containing fluid flow resisting filler material such as bead or fluid selector materials that swell when in contact with hydrocarbons, water or other stimulants such as pH, ionic concentration or the like.

- both inflow or outflow control during production or injection operations and dynamic response to wellbore conditions could be performed by the same component such as a choke or other infinitely variable valving assembly.
- each of the flow control devices is in communication with one or more adjacent zones, for example, fluid communication, fluid pressure communication or the like.
- FCD 1 is operably associated with a flow tube 28 proving upstream communication with zone 2 through one of the annular barriers 26.
- the term flow tube shall mean any medium capable of providing a communication path, such as a fluid or pressure communication path, between a flow control device and another zone.
- the flow tubes may be control lines or other tubing in the annulus between the tubing string and the wellbore that extend through one or more annular barriers.
- the flow tubes could be concentric tubulars around the tubing string that extend through and are preferably positioned interiorly of one or more annular barriers.
- the flow tubes may provide an unencumbered communication path between a flow control device and another zone or the flow tubes may include valving, pistons or other flow control or pressure operated devices.
- FCD 2 is operably associated with a flow tube 30 proving downstream communication with zone 1 through one of the annular barriers 26.
- FCD 2 is operably associated with a flow tube 32 proving upstream communication with zone 3 through one of the annular barriers 26.
- FCD 3 is operably associated with a flow tube 34 proving downstream communication with zone 2 through one of the annular barriers 26.

FCD N is operably associated with a flow tube 42 proving downstream communication with zone N-l through one of the annular barriers 26. Even though figure 1 depicts each flow control device in communication with one or more adjacent zones via the flow tubes, it is to be understood by those skilled in the art that the flow control devices in the present invention could alternatively or additionally be in communication with one or more remote zones that are not adjacent to the zone in which that flow control device operates.
- figure 1 depicts the flow control system of the present invention in an open hole environment, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is equally well suited for use in cased wells. Also, even though figure 1 depicts one flow control device in each production interval, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that any number of flow control devices may be deployed within a production interval without departing from the principles of the present invention. In addition, even though figure 1 depicts the flow control system of the present invention in a horizontal section of the wellbore, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is equally well suited for use in wells having other directional configurations including vertical wells, deviated wells, slanted wells, multilateral wells and the like.
- FIG. 1 a tubing string depicted as completion string 24 has been located in wellbore 12.
- a plurality of annular barriers 26 has been deployed which isolate a plurality of zones; namely, zone 1 - zone N.
- Each zone includes a fluid flow control device FCD 1 - FCD N that is in fluid communication with one or more other zones via flow tubes 28-42.
- Figure 1 depicts a first stage of a treatment operation wherein FCD 1 is in the open position and FCD 2 - FCD N are all in the closed position such that the treatment fluid, indicated by the arrows, is directed out of completions string 24 into formation 20 through FCD 1 and zone 1.
- the treatment operation depicted may be an acid treatment, a hydraulic fracturing operation or other operation that requires pumping fluid down the tubing string into a production zone or the formation.
- the pressure PI in zone 1 will change as local well conditions change. For example, during an acid treatment, the pressure PI in zone 1 will initially be at a high pressure that is above reservoir pressure as the filter cake or other wellbore damage will create resistance to the flow of the treatment fluid into the formation at the surface of the wellbore. As the acid treatment removes the filter cake in zone 1, the pressure PI will decrease as the resistance to flow into the formation decreases. As another example, during certain fracture operations, the pressure PI in zone 1 will initially be at a high pressure that is above reservoir pressure as a large volume of treatment fluid is pumped into the formation to create and prop open the hydraulic fractures.
- the pressure PI When the fractures cease to propagate or a sand out occurs, the pressure PI will increase. Similarly, in other fracture operations, the pressure PI in zone 1 will initially be at a high pressure that is above reservoir pressure as a large volume of treatment fluid is pumped into the formation to create and prop open the hydraulic fractures. As the composition of the treatment fluid changes from a high viscosity gel to a lower viscosity fluid, for example, the pressure PI will decrease as the resistance to flow into the formation decreases. In each of these treatment scenarios, the pressure PI changes over time and has an expected pressure signature.
- these pressure changes in zone 1 are seen by FCD 2 in zone 2 due to fluid communication through annular barrier 26 via flow tube 30.
- the fluid pressure PI can be routed to the appropriate side of a piston, sliding sleeve or other operation mechanism within FCD 2.
- the other side of the piston, sliding sleeve or other operation mechanism within FCD 2 may see the pressure P2 from zone 2, which is initially reservoir pressure.
- the differential pressure between PI and P2 thus provides an energy source to operate FCD 2 from a first operating configuration to a second operating configuration.
- FCD 2 is shifted from the closed to the open position, as best seen in figure 2.
- FCD 1 can remain open or preferably, FCD 1 can be closed.
- the pressure P2 in zone 2 is seen by FCD 1 in zone 1 due to fluid communication through annular barrier 26 via flow tube 28.
- the fluid pressure P2 can be routed to an appropriate side of the operation mechanism within FCD 1, the other side of which preferably sees the pressure PI from zone 1.
- the differential pressure between PI and P2 thus provides an energy source to operate FCD 1 from a first operating configuration to a second operating configuration which in this case is shifting FCD 1 from the open to the closed position, as best seen in figure 2.
- FCD 2 is opened prior to closing FCD 1.
- FCD 1 may be mechanically biased or locked in the closed position using springs, collets or other locking assemblies or it may be biased in the closed position by pressure in the system, such as tubing pressure.
- zone 2 The treatment operation then continues in zone 2 with the pressure P2 changing over time with an expected pressure signature that depends on the treatment operation being performed.
- FCD 3 the pressure changes in zone 2 are seen by FCD 3 in zone 3 due to fluid communication through annular barrier 26 via flow tube 34.
- the fluid pressure P2 can be routed to the appropriate side of the operation mechanism within FCD 3 with the other side preferably seeing the pressure P3 from zone 3, which is initially reservoir pressure.
- the differential pressure between P2 and P3 thus provides an energy source to operate FCD 3 from its closed position to its open position, as best seen in figure 3.
- FCD 2 can remain open or preferably, FCD 2 can be closed.
- the pressure P3 in zone 3 is seen by FCD 2 in zone 2 due to fluid communication through annular barrier 26 via flow tube 32.
- the fluid pressure P3 can be routed to an appropriate side of the operation mechanism within FCD 2, the other side of which preferably sees the pressure P2 from zone 2.
- the differential pressure between P2 and P3 thus provides an energy source to operate FCD 2 from its open to its closed position, as best seen in figure 3.
- FCD 3 is opened prior to closing FCD 2 and FCD 2 is secured in the closed position.
- This process may proceed uphole in a stepwise fashion to accomplish the desired treatment goals until the last zone of wellbore 12 is treated, as best seen in figure 4, wherein FCD N is open to allow treatment fluid to enter zone N as indicated by the arrows and all other flow control devices are closed.
- each of the previously closed flow control devices may be operated to the open position based upon sequential differential pressure changes in the zones. For example, as fluid is produced into zone N, the pressure PN falls below reservoir pressure. This pressure change in zone N is seen by FCD N-l in zone N-l due to fluid communication through annular barrier 26 via flow tube 40.
- the fluid pressure PN can be routed to the appropriate side of the operation mechanism within FCD N-l, the other side of which preferably sees the pressure PN-1 from zone N-l, which is initially reservoir pressure.
- the differential pressure between PN and PN- 1 can be use as an energy source to operate FCD N-l from its closed position to its open position. This process may proceed downhole in a stepwise fashion until all zones are open to production.
- FIG. 5 a tubing string depicted as completion string 24 has been located in wellbore 12.
- a plurality of annular barriers 26 has been deployed which isolate a plurality of zones; namely, zone 1 - zone N.
- Each zone includes a fluid flow control device FCD 1 - FCD N that is in fluid communication with one or more other zones via flow tubes 28-42.
- Figure 5 depicts a production operation wherein each of the flow control devices is in the open position such that the production fluid, indicated by the arrows, flows into completion string 24 through each of the flow control devices and each of the zones.
- the inflow control components within FCD 1 - FCD N will attempt to regulate and balance production rates through each zone. Under certain conditions, however, the inflow control components may be unable to regulate and balance production rates or it may be desirable to shut-in or highly restrict production from one or more zones due to changes in flowrate through a zone or changes in the composition of a fluid being produced into a zone. For example, if the desired fluid to be produced in the well system is oil and one or more zones begin to produce an undesired fluid such as gas or water, the fluid flow control system of the present invention can dynamically respond to this local well condition.
- the pressure in that zone is greater than the pressure in a zone producing oil.
- the pressure in that zone is greater than the pressure in a zone producing oil through a normal permeability region of the formation. In each of these production scenarios, the pressure difference in various zones can be used to control production.
- FCD 2 in zone 2 due to fluid communication through annular barrier 26 via flow tubes 30, 32.
- the fluid pressure PI or P3 can be routed to the appropriate side of a piston, sliding sleeve or other operation mechanism within FCD 2 with the other side of the piston, sliding sleeve or other operation mechanism within FCD 2 seeing the pressure P2 from zone 2.
- the differential pressure between PI and P2 or P3 and P2 thus provides an energy source to operate FCD 2 from a first operating configuration to a second operating configuration.
- FCD 2 when the differential pressure reaches a predetermined level, FCD 2 could be operated from its open position to a choked position or FCD 2 could be operation from its open position to a closed position, as best seen in figure 6. Preferably, FCD 2 is then secured in the closed position.
- the process will continue interventionlessly throughout the wellbore system as production fluid flowrates or compositions change in the various zones, with differential pressures providing the energy for the closure of the desired flow control devices. It should be noted that the required differential pressure needed to operate the various flow control devices may be different in different zones and may be preselected or predetermined.
