<p>A flow control assembly for regulating fluid flow in a wellbore is disclosed. A remote-open ICD is opened in response to swelling of a swellable actuator. The swellable actuator can move a flow regulator radially, circumferentially, etc., such that flow is allowed through the regulator. Alternately, the swellable actuator can move one or more valve members to an open position thereby allowing fluid to flow across the valve and to the flow regulator. The swellable actuator can be swelled in response to introduction of chemicals or heat. A guide mechanism can be used to control swelling of the actuator or movement of the regulator device or valve member.</p> |
