MULTIPLE ZONE DOWNHOLE INTELLIGENT FLOW CONTROL VALVE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMINGLING OF FLOWS FROM MULTIPLE ZONES

摘要

A method for controlling commingling of flows from multiple zones. The method includes physically containing flows from different zones to individual concentric flow channels in a nested tubular arrangement and selectively commingling two or more of the flows by setting at least one valve associated with each flow channel to a closed position or one of an infinite number of flow capable positions.
