A flow arrangement (10, 12) for use in a well through one or more
underground reservoirs, and where the arrangement (10, 12) is designed to
throttle radially inflowing reservoir fluids produced through an inflow
portion of the production tubing in the well, the production tubing in
and along this inflow portion being provided with one or more
arrangements (10, 12). Such an arrangement (10, 12) is designed to effect
a relatively stable and predictable fluid pressure drop at any stable
fluid flow rate in the course of the production period of the well, and
where said fluid pressure drop will exhibit the smallest possible degree
of susceptibility to influence by differences in the viscosity and/or any
changes in the viscosity of the inflowing reservoir fluids during the
production period. Such a fluid pressure drop is obtained by the
arrangement (10, 12) comprising among other things one or more short,
removable and replaceable flow restrictions such as nozzle inserts (44,
62), and where the individual flow restriction may be given the desired
cross section of flow, through which reservoir fluids may flow and be
throttled, or the flow restriction may be a sealing plug.
