Produce smarter with a real, proven AICD
Halliburton’s EquiFlow® Autonomous Inflow Control Device (AICD) is a step above all other inflow control tools because it allows for the most efficient recovery of oil in steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) producers.
EquiFlow AICD is the market leader for autonomous ICDs and provides the highest reliability for the life of the well. Like all AICDs, it has no control lines, but it is unique in that it works without any moving parts and has no electronics or elastomers.
The EquiFlow AICD has been flow tested with steam, varying oils, and water. It has proven reliability in the hottemperatures of the SAGD environment. EquiFlow AICD produces heavier, more viscous fluids, offering SAGD producers two additional benefits.
• Flow is encouraged from high oil and cold zones. As these zones flow at higher rates, heat moves in that direction maximizing the utilization of the well.
• When a steam breakthrough occurs, the EquiFlow AICD has shown 40% less steam flow over a passive nozzleI CD. At the same flow rate, the pressure drop of steam would be more than six times higher than oil flow.
