Apparatus and method for selective inflow control using nuclear magnetic resonance measurements for hydrocarbon production without water
Abstract:
An apparatus for extracting a fluid from a formation includes an inflow control device (ICD) coupled to a production tubular disposed in a borehole penetrating the formation and configured to control flow into the production tubular and a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) front-end component assembly disposed in the borehole, the NMR front-end component assembly having a sensitive volume in a flow path leading to and/or coming through the ICD. The apparatus also includes a controller receiving input from an NMR electronics module coupled to the NMR front-end component assembly and providing output to the ICD based on the input from the NMR electronics module.
