What is it?
▌ EquiFlow® Autonomous ICD (AICD) is
Halliburton’s next generation inflow
control device (ICD) which utilizes
innovative dynamic fluid technology to
differentiate between fluids flowing
through the device in order to maximize
oil production.

How it will Benefit you
▌ The AICD differentiates between fluids. Water and gas, follow more
restrictive flow path than oil which flows relatively easily. When several
AICDs are installed in a well, water production through any particular
zone is greatly restricted allowing the other zones to continue
producing oil at a high rate.

Why it will Help
▌ AICD works like a passive ICD during oil production, yet restricts the
production of water and gas at breakthrough to minimize water and gas
cuts dramatically.

Unique Features
▌ Functions as a traditional passive ICD during oil production.
▌ Greatly restricts unwanted water or gas production at the event of
breakthrough
▌ Delivered with all common screen configurations.
▌ NO specialized installation equipment or procedures
▌ NO control lines
▌ Contains NO moving parts
▌ Does NOT require downhole orientation
▌ Erosion resistant

Where it Will Work
▌ The AICD can maximize hydrocarbon production in any reservoir with
unwanted fluid production. The AICD delays breakthrough of unwanted
fluids, allowing oil production to be maximized.

Challenges Addressed
▌ The Autonomous ICD functions as a
traditional passive ICD during oil
production, balancing flow across
the completion. Upon water or gas
breakthrough those fluids are
autonomously restricted. AICD tools
are available for oil viscosities of 0.3
cP and higher.
