In flow control devices (ICD) or autonomos inflow control device (AICD), which improves oil recovery, can be integrated with Secure to improve process efficiency of the well production

In flow control devices (ICDs) help maintain uniform inflow rates, respectively, across the entire length of the interval in openhole completions, even in the presence of permeability variations and thief zones.

Produced fluid enters the production tubing through the ICD. In high-permeability or high-pressure zones, the higher fluid velocity causes the ICD to exert higher backpressure than in less productive zones. Consequently low-productivity zones are stimulated to produce more than in conventional screen completions, minimizing the risk of bypassing reserves and increasing hydrocarbon recovery.

Moreover, the ICD dramatically reduces water and gas rates when these breakthrough phases have higher mobility than the oil.
