摘要:The Autonomous Inflow Control Device (AICD) adjusts the inflow of the horizontal wellbore by adding additional resistance to the fluid, thereby prolonging the water seepage time and enhancing oil recovery. The performance of AICD mainly depends on structural parameters. The computational fluid dynamics software is used to analyze the influence of structural parameters on the performance of AICD. The results show that the diameter of the variable diameter section, the diameter of the restrictor and the diameter of the outlet are the main factors affecting the performance of the inflow control device. The fluid parameter sensitivity simulation results show that the oil phase viscosity and water content have a great influence on the performance of AICD, while the influence of oil phase density on the performance of the device is negligible; the pressure drop under the pure water condition of this type of AICD is more than twice that of pure oil condition, so it has better water control ability.
