  • Patent number: 11041367
    Abstract: An inflow control device (“ICD”) is in production tubing in a wellbore, and used to control a flow of fluid through the ICD. The ICD is adjustable in response to an external force, which is selectively applied by an actuator that is included with a bottom-home assembly (“BHA”). The BHA is deployed on coiled tubing, and anchored in the wellbore to isolate the coiled tubing from resultant or counter forces generated when adjusting the ICD. Fluid is optionally injected into the coiled tubing on surface, and directed into the wellbore from the BHA. A latching arm is included with the actuator, which is equipped with a profile that matches a profile on the ICD to facilitate engagement between the arm and the ICD.
