EquiFlow® inflow control devices

A complete portfolio  

EquiFlow® inflow control devices offer simple and reliable solutions, combining inflow balancing with advanced completions tailored to meet your reservoir challenges. These solutions can be incorporated with conventional screens or debris filters. Simulation software is used to model, design and optimize EquiFlow ICD completions. The portfolio includes: 

• EquiFlow® Autonomous ICDs
  Innovative dynamic fluid diode technology distinguishes the types of fluids flowing through the AICD. No moving parts, they function as passive ICDs during oil production, while restricting the production of water and gas upon breakthrough to minimize water and gas cuts dramatically. 

• EquiFlow® DAICD
  Halliburton developed the EquiFlow® Density-AICD (D-AICD), a novel class of AICDs that balances production flow and restricts unwanted production fluids, even with minimal viscosity difference between the produced fluids.

• EquiFlow® Adjustable Nozzle ICDs 
  Regulate flow rate by adding pressure drop through a series of nozzles, adjusted for flow rate vs pressure differential for each ICD. This adjustability provides a customized restriction profile and allows for adjustments in the workshop or at the rig site. 

• EquiFlow® ICDs with Sliding Sleeves
  Selectively intervene with a mechanical shifting tool to shut-off and re-open ICDs along the length of the producing interval.

• EquiFlow® Washpipe-free Systems 
  A positive seal and plug solution fitted to each AICD/ICD flow port deliver hydrocarbons and provide injection. Enable pressure integrity, circulation and stimulation without the requirement of an inner string while running in hole, helping to reduce rig time.

• EquiFlow® ICD with Dissolvable Plug
  Dissolvable rods can be used to plug the flow paths in the ICD housing, which disappear after the completion is installed and fluid displacement is complete – thus, creating a washpipe-free ICD completion. 

• EquiFlow® OptiSteam™ Flow Control Device 
  Improves completion performance and efficiency in steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) operations by balancing steam injection throughout the length of a completion.

• PetroGuard® Screen and EquiFlow® ICD with Remote-Open Valve
  Remote-open valve holds internal pressure when closing and opening the screen, providing full production flow after sufficient internal pressure is applied and released.
