Abstract
An apparatus for controlling water production in a wellbore comprises a body in the form of a base pipe, the base pipe having an axial flow passage in the form of axial throughbore and a lateral flow passage in the form of radial port. A shroud is disposed around the base pipe and forms a housing of the apparatus. In use, the apparatus forms part of a completion string for location in the wellbore, the apparatus configured to direct production fluid into a production conduit for recovery to surface, perform a quantitative measurement of water content within the production fluid, and vary the fluid flow in the fluid flow path based on the quantitative measurement of water content within the production fluid to maintain water production at or below a predetermined threshold.
