Inflow assembly

摘要

An inflow assembly for controlling fluid flow between a hydrocarbon reservoir and a production casing in a well, comprising a first tubular having an axial extension and at least one inlet and a first wall with at least a first axial channel extending in the first wall from the inlet, a second tubular having a first and a second end and at least one outlet, the second tubular being rotatable within the first tubular and having a second wall with at least a second axial channel extending in the second wall from the first end to the outlet. The assembly is configured to control a fluid flow between a hydrocarbon reservoir and a production casing in a well. The inflow assembly may also be utilized in a downhole completion comprising a casing string.

1. An inflow assembly, comprising:
a first tubular having an axial extension along a longitudinal axis and at least one inlet of the first tubular, the first tubular having a first wall within which at least a first axial channel extends from the inlet parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first tubular; a second tubular having a first longitudinal end, a second longitudinal end, and at least one outlet, the second tubular being rotatable within the first tubular, the second tubular having a second wall within which at least a second axial channel extends from the first longitudinal end to the outlet parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first tubular; wherein the second tubular is configured to rotate at least between a first position in which the first and second axial channels are axially aligned and in fluid communication and a second position in which the first and second axial channels are out of alignment and out of fluid communication; and the inflow assembly is configured to control fluid flow between a hydrocarbon reservoir and a production casing in a well.
