More Information
Summary:A downhole assembly includes a base pipe, a power generator, and a flow control device positioned within a flow path for a fluid that extends between the exterior and the interior of the base pipe. The flow control device can control an amount of incoming flow that is directed to the power generator and an amount that is directed to the interior of the base pipe without passing through the power generator. A flow through the power generator can be maintained so that power is provided throughout operation of the flow control device.
