Abstract (en)
[origin: US2020095851A1] A subsurface autonomous inflow control device for a wellbore, the inflow control device comprising a tubular base pipe having one or more through-openings for receiving production fluids within a wellbore. The inflow control device further includes a housing residing along an outer diameter of the tubular base pipe and covering the one or more through-openings. The housing comprises a fluid inlet configured to receive production fluids from a subsurface formation, and a hydrophobic material positioned within the housing between the fluid inlet and the through-openings. The hydrophobic material provides a network of pores that permits a flow of hydrocarbon fluids there through en route to the through-openings, but the hydrophobic material blocks the passage of aqueous fluids there through. A method for completing a wellbore having the porous, hydrophobic inflow control device is also provided.
