Abstract

See full text

A wirelessly controlled active inflow control valve system. The valve system includes at least one downhole zonal production control unit. The at least one zonal production control unit includes a valve configured to control an inflow of fluid, at least one sensor configured to sense at least one parameter, and a central downhole control and data acquisition unit communicatively coupled to the valve and the at least one sensor. The central downhole control and data acquisition unit sends an actuation signal to the valve and receives at least one data output from the at least one sensor. The central downhole control and data acquisition unit transmits the at least one data output to a surface control and data acquisition unit via a wireless communication protocol and receives a control command from the surface downhole control and data acquisition unit via the wireless communication protocol.
