... lead to accelerated crevice corrosion and weakening of the structure in this area. Use of mechanical fixing methods has long been used as the standard in industry. It is reliable and fixing strengths are known or easily calculated. Potential drawbacks however include the requirement to alter...

.... The standard ICD completion design workflow involves selection of the “strength” of the ICD's restriction based on the incomplete knowledge of the reservoir that is available prior to drilling the well with several commercial softwares available for this. However, more complete reservoir data becomes...
