FloSure TR7 AICD Flow Control

The document describes two types of autonomous inflow control devices (AICDs): the FloMatik Nozzle ICD system and the FloSure "TR7" AICD. The FloSure AICD uses a movable disc that is subject to forces from momentum, hydraulic lift, and viscous drag to control flow based on fluid properties. Specifically, higher viscosity fluids increase friction and push the disc away to increase flow, while lower viscosity fluids reduce friction and pull the disc against the seat to restrict flow.

High viscosity oil


increases friction
pressure pushing the
disc away from the seat
and thereby increasing
oil flow
Low viscosity and dense
water reduces friction
pressure and increases
velocity thereby sucking
the disc against the seat
thereby restricting water
flow
Low viscosity gas reduces
friction pressure and causing
very high velocity thereby
sucking the disc against
the seat thereby restricting
gas flow

FloSure TR7 AICD Water Flowing


High viscosity oil increases
