Designed for highly productive wells with a risk of erosion downstream of conventional ICDs due to high ﬂuid velocity exiting the device.

March 7 2025

Fluid exiting a nozzle-based ICD will form a jet that can result in high shear stresses and subsequent erosion of the completion components downstream of the nozzle. The FloExtreme ICD Production can be applied to high-rate oil production wells, or gas production wells requiring high differential pressure across the ICD, or in applications where an erosion-corrosion wall loss mechanism may act on the base pipe internal diameter.

The FloExtreme ICD is installed within a conventional ICD housing on either TAQA’s FloRight premium, direct wrap screens, or on an independent mandrel (sub). The FloExtreme ICD features a sacriﬁcial tungsten carbide energy dissipation cone downstream of the ICD nozzle. The dissipation cone diverts the ﬂow in a radial direction to multiple exit points reducing the ﬂow velocity and preventing impingement of the ﬂow on the base pipe for production wells.

Specification

Specification Title	Specification Description
Asset Life Extension	Optimises oil production over the life of a well by delaying water break-through and reducing gas-oil ratios
Flexibility	Interchangeable with any combination of inflow/outflow control valves to minimise inventory and allow flexibility on final completion design
Deployment	Deployed as part of the lower completion or retrofitted into an existing well, mounted within a sub or integrated with sand screens.
Integrations	Can be integrated with sand control screens for soft formations
