FloRite

FloRite is a unique pressure profile control screen designed to optimize toe-to-heel flow control in consolidated formations, as well as remove formation damage caused by drilling and completion fluids/operations.

By strategically placing inflow control devices (ICDs) along the production zone, one can: a) sweep the reservoir uniformly, b) prevent or delay gas/water coning, c) choke off unwanted hi-perm water streaks, and d) remove filtercake damage, especially at the toe, via higher drawdowns. For injectors, ICDs can achieve uniform toe-to-heel gas/water/steam injection, and choke off thief zones.

FloRite employs nozzles for flow control, which are superior to channels or tubes because: 1) nozzles choke off water more effectively, and 2) pressure drop (hence flow rate) is independent of viscosity. The result: more oil production—less water production.
