US Patent:
2013021, Aug 22, 2013
Filed:
Feb 15, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/768431
Inventors:
Luke William Holderman - Plano TX, US
Stephen Michael Greci - McKinney TX, US
Assignee:
HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 43/12, E21B 43/08, E21B 34/06
US Classification:
166373, 166205, 166316
Abstract:
A well screen assembly includes a tubular base pipe. The base pipe has a sidewall aperture that communicates fluid between an interior central bore of the base pipe and an exterior of the base pipe. A filtration screen is around the base pipe. The filtration screen defines a lateral fluid passage along a axial length of the well screen assembly. A flow control device is coupled to the base pipe and the filtration screen. The flow control devices includes a ring sealing the lateral fluid passage from the central bore. An elongate restrictor passage is in the ring, oriented longitudinally. The elongate restrictor passage is configured to communicate fluid between the lateral fluid passage and the central bore. The restrictor passage includes an internal, square edged orifice defined by a fixed, annular protrusion. The annular protrusion extends inwardly from an interior surface of the restrictor passage.

Adjustable Flow Control Device

US Patent:
2013022, Aug 29, 2013
Filed:
Feb 29, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/408861
Inventors:
Stephen Michael Greci - McKinney TX, US
Luke William Holderman - Plano TX, US
Jean Marc Lopez - Plano TX, US
Matthew Earl Franklin - Lewisville TX, US
Assignee:
HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 34/06, E21B 34/00
US Classification:
166373, 166319
Abstract:
A flow control device comprises a fluid pathway configured to provide fluid communication between an exterior of a wellbore tubular and an interior of the wellbore tubular, a flow restriction disposed in a fluid pathway, a flow blockage disposed in the fluid pathway, and a retaining member configured to maintain the flow blockage within the fluid pathway and allow access to the flow blockage within the fluid pathway. The flow blockage substantially prevents a fluid flow through the fluid pathway.
