Method of Making a Flow Control Device That Reduces Flow of the Fluid When a Selected Property of the Fluid is in Selected Range

A method of providing a flow control device for controlling flow of a fluid between a formation and a wellbore, comprising:

• forming a flow-through region on a member, wherein the flow-through region is configured so that a fluid performance coefficient increases substantially exponentially when Reynolds number of the fluid changes within a first range and remains substantially constant when the Reynolds number of the fluid is in a second range.

A method of providing an apparatus for use in a wellbore comprising:

• providing a sand control device configured to control flow of solid particles in a formation fluid through the sand control device;
• and
• providing a flow control device configured to receive the formation fluid from the sand control device, the flow control device including a flow-through region configured to substantially increase value of a selected parameter of the flow control device when a selected property of the fluid changes in a first range and maintain a substantially constant pressure drop across the flow-through region when the selected property of the fluid is in a second range.
