EquiFlow Inflow Control Device
Homogenous reservoirs
Horizontal wells provide
Greater reservoir contact Higher production than vertical wells with lower drawdown
Frictional forces in the tubing can be significant
Early water and/or gas breakthrough in the heel

With ICD
EquiFlow Inflow Control Device
Heterogeneous reservoirs
Equalizes the pressure drop along the interval for a more efficient completion
Longer producing life due to delay of water/gas coning Production per unit length improved
Decreased flow rate of high mobility fluids Better sweep efficiency
Without ICD

With ICD
EquiFlow Inject System
Similar design to the EquiFlow ICD, but takes injected fluid properties into consideration Allows for a more homogeneous placement of the injection fluid Application
Avoids breakthrough of injected fluid into producers Better placement of injection fluid into different formation layers Evens out effects of permeability differences and fractures

EquiFlow Adjustable ICD
Adjustable EquiFlow systems
Pre-configured with a set of tubes Re-configure tubes on rig to change the pressure drop
Updated info from LWD/MWD
What info do you get from logging tools? Will this info change your EquiFlow ICD configuration?
EquiFlow Adjustable ICD Slide housing for flow tube access
Provides greater configuration and supply flexibility

EquiFlow Systems Configuration
Pressure drop across tubes determined by:
Tube length Tube ID Number of tubes (standard 4 length) (depending req. pressure drop) (normally 3-5 tubes per ICD)
ICD - Flow Rate vs Pressure Drop
400 350 Pressure Drop 1 Pressure Drop 2 Pressure Drop 3

EquiFlow Why Choose a Tube?
Halliburtons tube ICD technology bridges the nozzle/helix performance gap
30% less sensitive than a nozzle to a change in pressure drop from erosion 60% less sensitive than a helix to a change in flow rate with water breakthrough

Oil Producer? yes
no Use constant EquiFlow setting along the wellbore EquiFlow Adjustable Decide on type and placement of zonal isolation Fixed EquiFlow yes Will there be any updated info after drilling the well?
yes Varying the EquiFlow setting along the wellbore
