FloFuse
Ensure effective flow distribution in fractured or highly heterogeneous reservoirs
Page last modified
April 11 2024
FloFuse Injection
Distribution of injected fluids is critical for achieving effective oil sweep or chemical treatment. The presence of highly permeable zones or fractures prevents effective fluid distribution leading to lower recovery factors and premature water breakthrough in production wells.
FloFuse Production
Designed to limit the liquid rate from a highly fractured section in the reservoir. A high water rate will compress the disc to fuse and choke the flow. The valve remains dynamically reactive and will re-open if the distributed flow can be achieved.
Pros & Limitations
1
Works autonomously downhole
1
Rates are engineered for optimal performance in each application
1
Improves reservoir sweep efficiency
1
Delays water breakthrough in producers
1
Restricts injection into fractures
1
Ensures uniform injection
1
Improved placement of acid / treatments
1
Field adjustable
0
Limited previous deployment outside the Middle East & US

Asset Life Extension
|
Allows effective fluid distribution leading to higher recovery factors and reduced water breakthrough in production wells.
|
|
Flexibility
|
Deployed as part of the lower completion or retrofitted into an existing well, mounted within a sub or integrated with sand screens.
|
|
Optimisation
|
Trigger rates are engineered for optimum performance in each application. The valve remains dynamically reactive and will re-open if distributed flow is achieved.
|
|
Safety
|
This device is a biased open valve which enables water injection at normal distributed rates but chokes once a trigger rate is exceeded.
|
|
Automation
|
Autonomous injection control device that limits the flow of injected fluids into thief zones to ensure effective flow distribution in fractured or highly heterogeneous reservoirs and limit the liquid rate from a high fracture section in the reservoir.
