Distributed inflow control device

A distributed inflow control device configured for being disposed in a wellbore through a fluid-producing formation, the distributed inflow control device comprising:

• a shroud adapted to circumferentially cover a section of a tubing string and to be disposed in the fluid-producing formation, wherein the shroud comprises a profile including a plurality of flow paths that are adapted to be between the fluid-producing formation and an inner volume of the section of the tubing string, wherein each flow path of the plurality of flow paths is configured to restrict a fluid flow through the flow path and is independent of each other flow path, wherein the plurality of flow paths comprises a plurality of respective inlets and a plurality of respective outlets;
• a seal over the profile including the plurality of flow paths, to cause fluid to flow from a respective inlet to a respective outlet of each flow path and to prevent fluid from entering or exiting each flow path at a point other than the respective inlet or the respective outlet;
• and
• a plurality of coiled control lines adapted to circumferentially surround the section of the tubing string for being disposed in the fluid-producing formation, the plurality of coiled control lines defining an additional plurality of flow paths positionable between the fluid-producing formation and the inner volume of the section of the tubing string, wherein each coiled control line of the plurality of coiled control lines is adapted to provide a respective flow path independent from each other flow path and is configured to restrict the fluid flow through the flow path.
