Patent ID: 7497265

Claim:
A flow control device for an oil or gas well comprising: an outer housing; an inner conduit disposed within the outer housing and fixed relative thereto; a flow path at least partially defined by an annulus between the outer housing and the inner conduit; at least one flow port disposed within the flow path for communicating flow along the flow path when the port is open and preventing flow along the flow path when the port is closed; a sealing member disposed within the device and adjacent the at least one flow port, the sealing member having at least two positions relative to the at least one port including an open position in which the sealing member does not prevent flow through the at least one port and a closed position in which the sealing member prevents flow through the at least one port, the sealing member being configured to be capable of moving from the open position to the closed position so as to reclose the flow control device; a tool profile disposed on the sealing member for engaging a corresponding profile on a service tool for changing the sealing member from its open to its closed position and vice versa; and an interventionless flow control device coupled to the outer housing comprising a second flow path communicating with first flow path and a valve element that is independent from the sealing member and disposed within the second flow path, the valve element having at least an opened and a closed flow position, such that fluid can flow along the first and second flow paths when the sealing member and valve element are both opened and fluid cannot flow along the flow paths when the sealing member is shifted closed.
