A fluid flow control device (60) for use in a wellbore to control the
inflow of production fluids comprises a sand control screen (62) having a
base pipe (64) with a first set of openings (66) that allows the
production fluids to flow therethrough and a sleeve (74) coaxially
disposed adjacent to the base pipe (64). The sleeve (74) has a second set
of openings (76) that allows the production fluids to flow therethrough.
The sleeve (74) is selectively positionable relative to the base pipe
(64) such that a pressure drop in the production fluids is selectively
controllable by adjusting an alignment of the first set of openings (66)
relative to the second set of openings (76).
