发明名称 Water sensitive adaptive inflow control using cavitations to actuate a valve
摘要 An apparatus for controlling fluid flow between a wellbore tubular and a wellbore annulus includes a passage between a bore of the wellbore tubular and the wellbore annulus. The passage causes cavitations in a flowing fluid made up of mostly water. The cavitations activate a flow control device that controls fluid flow into the wellbore tubular. In one method, the flow control device includes a pressure chamber pressurized by high-pressure fluid associated with the cavitations. The pressure in the pressure chamber actuates a piston assembly coupled to a closure element that restricts fluid flow into the wellbore tubular. Alternatively, a power generator generates an electrical signal in response to the cavitations and transmits the electrical signal to the flow control device. In response to the electrical signal, the flow control element activates one or more devices that move a closure element to restrict fluid flow into the wellbore tubular.
