Downhole Fluid Flow Control System and Method Having a Fluidic Module with a Flow Control Turbine

A flow control screen comprising:

• a base pipe with an internal passageway;
• a filter medium positioned around the base pipe;
• a housing positioned around the base pipe defining a fluid flow path between the filter medium and the internal passageway;
• and
• at least one fluidic module disposed within the fluid flow path, the fluidic module having a turbine chamber with a flow control turbine rotatably disposed therein, the flow control turbine operable to provide fluid discriminating flow resistance such that a pressure drop for a desired production fluid passing through the fluidic module is less than a pressure drop for an undesired production fluid passing through the fluidic module.

A downhole fluid flow control method comprising:

• positioning a fluid flow control system at a target location downhole, the fluid flow control system including a fluidic module having a turbine chamber with a flow control turbine rotatably disposed therein;
• producing a desired fluid through the fluidic module;
• generating a first pressure drop responsive to production of the desired fluid;
• producing an undesired fluid through the fluidic module;
• and
• generating a second pressure drop responsive to production of the undesired fluid, the second pressure drop being higher than the first pressure drop, thereby providing fluid discriminating flow resistance.
