Abstract:
An apparatus includes an inflow control device that is disposed in a well and is adapted to receive a flow. The inflow control device includes a chamber, an outlet and at least one inlet. The chamber has a first end, a second end, and a cross-section of the chamber decreases along a length of the chamber. The outlet is disposed at the second end of chamber. The inlet has a cross-sectional dimension and is adapted to, in response to the received flow, inject a flow into the chamber near the first end of the chamber such that a fluid flow is produced inside the chamber that rotates and translates in a direction along the length of the chamber toward the outlet.
