FloFuse
Ensure effective flow distribution in fractured or highly heterogeneous reservoirs
Page last modified
November 9 2023
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.
Pro/con
Works autonomously downhole
Rates are engineered for optimal performance in each application
Improves reservoir sweep efficiency
Delays water breakthrough in producers
Restricts injection into fractures
Ensures uniform injection
Improved placement of acid / treatments
Field adjustable
Limited previous deployment outside the Middle East & US
Specification
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.
