Autonomous Inflow Control Valve
Each reservoir is different and each reservoir faces different challenges.
AICV® is tailored as per the reservoir managements needs. Designed to function effectively within the operators’ requirements and to meet their objectives. This means that flow performance of the AICV® will be designed to the operators’ requirements and needs to autonomously manage how the valve will restrict un-wanted water or gas.
AICV®
Most oil wells face challenges with un-wanted water and/or gas breakthrough independently if the well is vertical, slanted, or horizontal.
The unwanted gas and/or water breakthrough leads to reduced oil production and recovery.
The Autonomous Inflow Control Valves (AICV) enable oil production from the oil saturated sections of the wellbore yet the AICVs autonomously manage to restrict flow from reservoir sections that are producing un-wanted water and gas.
There are several designs of AICVs ranging from 0.25 cP ultralight oil up to >5000 cP extra-heavy oil.
