发明名称 Flow control screen assembly having an adjustable inflow control device
摘要 A well system has a fluid flow path for the inflow of production fluid. An inflow control device is disposed within the fluid flow path. The inflow control device has at least first and second fluid passageways. A first plug is disposed within the first fluid passageway and is operable to restrict fluid flow therethrough. The first plug is operably removable from the first fluid passageway responsive to a first stimulus. A second plug is disposed within the second fluid passageway and is operable to restrict fluid flow therethrough. The second plug is operably removable from the second fluid passageway responsive to a second stimulus, wherein the first stimulus is different from the second stimulus.

主权项 1. A well system comprising: a base pipe with an axially extending internal passageway, a blank pipe section and a perforated section; a filter medium positioned around the blank pipe section of the base pipe; a housing positioned around the base pipe defining a fluid flow path between the filter medium and the internal passageway; an inflow control device disposed within the fluid flow path, the inflow control device having at least first and second axially extending fluid passageways; a first axially extending plug disposed within the first fluid passageway and operable to restrict fluid flow therethrough, the first plug operably removable from the first fluid passageway responsive to a first fluid treatment; and a second axially extending plug disposed within the second fluid passageway and operable to restrict fluid flow therethrough, the second plug operably removable from the second fluid passageway responsive to a second fluid treatment; wherein, the first fluid treatment is different from the second fluid treatment; wherein, the first plug comprises a first material; wherein the second plug comprises a head, a shaft, and a plurality of seal grooves that are operable to receive seals; wherein the shaft of the second plug comprises a first portion, a second portion, a third portion, and a fourth portion sequenced relative to each other; and wherein the first portion and the third portion are comprised of the first material and the second portion and the fourth portion are comprised of a second material operable to protect the first material of the second plug from the first fluid treatment when the second plug is disposed within the second fluid passageway.
