Patent ID: 8443901

Claim:
A completion assembly for regulating a flowrate in a wellbore, comprising: a base pipe; a filter media disposed around a first portion of the base pipe forming an inner annulus therebetween; a flow control housing disposed around a second portion of the base pipe and adjacent the filter media; a first tubular port formed through the base pipe and in fluid communication with the flow control housing; a second tubular port in formed through the base pipe; a flow control flowpath defined within the flow control housing and communicable with both the base pipe and the inner annulus; a valve assembly in fluid communication with both the base pipe and the inner annulus, the valve assembly being positionable between a plurality a plurality of positions including an open position, a closed position, and a throttled position for controlling a flow through the flow control flowpath in response to fluid pressure applied to the second tubular port, wherein the value assembly includes a first value port in fluid communication with the inner annulus and a second value port in fluid communication with the first tubular port when in the open position, and an indexing assembly for positioning the valve assembly between the plurality of positions in response to fluid pressure applied to the second tubular port.
