The FD-AICD represents a significant innovation in the evolution of inflow control technology. Introduced to address uneven inflow and early water or gas breakthrough, this design utilizes fluidic diode technology with a maze-like internal structure to selectively regulate fluid entry based on density and viscosity. By autonomously restricting unwanted fluids like gas and water while maximizing oil production, it offers an efficient, self-regulating solution that requires no external power or controls.
The FD-AICD remains an economical and versatile choice for a wide range of well scenarios, from simple completions to complex horizontal or multilateral wells. Its ability to balance production, enhance recovery, and reduce intervention costs ensures its continued relevance in modern well completions.
