Reactive choke for automatic wellbore fluid management and methods of using same

摘要: Fluid actuated chokes comprise an expandable material that expands due to undesired fluid coming in contact with the choke. The choke includes one or more passageways through which desired fluids from a well flow unimpeded. is disposed downhole tool as part of completion. When enters production stream flowing completion and, thus, tool, and contacts choke, causing passageway(s) be restricted some cases, completely closed off. Thus, automatically detects reacts, i.e., restricts when contacted by fluid(s).
