Patent ID: 8336627

Claim:
A wellbore completion apparatus, comprising: a tubular configured to extend into a wellbore, the tubular defining a longitudinal bore therein and first and second ports extending radially through the tubular, wherein the first port is aligned with a first formation zone and the second port is aligned with a second formation zone, and wherein the first formation zone is located at least partially between a surface location and the second formation zone; first and second side pockets extending radially inward from an inner diameter of the tubular, each side pocket having an interior in fluid communication with the bore of the tubular, wherein the first side pocket is aligned with the first port and the second side pocket is aligned with the second port; and a first flow control device configured to be removably positioned at least partially in the first side pocket, wherein the first flow control device defines a first flowpath therein, wherein, when the first flow control device is in the first side pocket, the first flowpath is in fluid communication with the bore of the tubular and the first port such that the flow control device controls a flow between the bore and the first port; a second flow control device configured to be removably positioned at least partially in the second side pocket, wherein the second flow control device defines a second flowpath therein, wherein, when the second flow control device is in the second side pocket, the second flowpath is in fluid communication with the bore of the tubular and the second port such that the flow control device controls a flow between the bore and the second port, and wherein the second flow control device is retrievable independently from the first flow control device; and a screen disposed proximate the first formation zone at least partially around the tubular, the screen being in fluid communication with the first port.
