Title:
COMPOSITE INFLOW CONTROL DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/028456
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A flow control device, including a flow path for a fluid therethrough; a geometry defining at least a portion of the flow path, the geometry operatively arranged to cause a pressure drop in the fluid thereacross; a material disposed along the flow path, the material having a surface energy less than that of an undesirable component of the fluid. A method of controlling inflow of an undesirable fluid including: receiving a fluid in a flow control device; and reducing an undesirable component of the fluid flowing out from the flow control device by directing the fluid along a flow path of the flow control device, the flow path at least partially defined by a geometry operatively arranged to cause a pressure drop in the fluid thereacross and at least partially defined by a material having a surface energy less than that of the undesirable component of the fluid.
