FloFuse (Injection)
An autonomous injection control device that limits the flow of injected fluids into high permeability (thief) zones
The FloFuse Injection valve is an autonomous injection control device that limits the flow of injected fluids into high permeability (thief) zones, and natural or induced fractures, to ensure effective flow distribution in fractured or highly heterogeneous reservoirs.
This device is a biased open valve which enables water injection at normal distribution rates but closes once a trigger flow rate through the valve is exceeded, analogous to a circuit breaker in an electrical distribution network. When combined with a FloExtreme Injection ICD, restricted injection can be sustained in the target zone even when the FloFuse valve has been triggered closed.
FloFuse Injection delivers:
- effective autonomous response to unanticipated or changing injectivity conditions
- improved reservoir sweep
- reduced water production
Specification Title | Specification Description |
---|---|
Asset Life Extension
|
Optimises oil production over the life of a well by delaying water break-through and reducing oil-gas 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 with a sub or integrated with sand screens.
|
Integrations
|
Can be integrated with sand control screens for soft formations
