A flow control packer (FCP) includes a packer mandrel, and an inflatable
element fixedly attached at each end to the mandrel. The inflatable
element includes circumferential grooves and flow control grooves formed
on an outside surface thereof configured to press against the inside
diameter of a conduit to provide a flow resistant surface for controlling
the flow rate of a fluid through the conduit. A system can include one or
more flow control packers (FCP) configured to control fluid flow through
different sections of the conduit.
