Abstract:
An autonomous valve includes a fluid-sensitive actuator operable to automatically actuate the valve in response to being exposed to a target fluid. The target fluid may be a fluid whose presence is generally undesirable in a production fluid, such as water, and the valve may be actuated to stop flow from an interval within a wellbore that is no longer expected to produce hydrocarbon-bearing fluids. The valve further includes a protective layer disposed between the fluid inlet and the fluid-sensitive actuator, the protective layer being insoluble in the target fluid. The fluid-sensitive actuator may include a swellable piston that swells to actuate the valve in the presence of the target fluid, a soluble plug that isolates a hydraulic, closing piston until the soluble plug is dissolved into the target fluid, and an electromechanical actuator that closes the valve in response to detecting the target fluid using an electronic sensor.

Claim (Index 5):
A downhole, autonomous valve for controlling flow of production fluid from a wellbore, comprising a fluid-sensitive actuator operable to automatically actuate in response to the presence of a target fluid, the fluid-sensitive actuator comprising:\n an electromechanical actuator comprising a controller, a power source, an electronic sensor, and a rupture disk disposed between an exterior of the downhole, autonomous valve and a fluid inlet of the fluid-sensitive actuator; a valve closing member disposed between the fluid inlet of the fluid-sensitive actuator and a chamber at a first pressure; and a fluid motivated piston operable to motivate the valve closing member to a closed position in response to the production fluid entering the fluid inlet of the fluid-sensitive actuator at a wellbore pressure that is greater than the first pressure.
