RGL's Q-Commander™ is a flow control device used to maximize production efficiency by improving injection characteristics. The device’s flow conditioning extends the injecting zone length, reduces openhole erosion and casing damage, which reduces the number of assemblies required while optimizing custom injection rates.

The Q-Commander™ maximizes water injection efficiencies along the well by exit flow conditioning. Having greater laminar exit flow extends the thermal reach beyond traditional injecting zones, thus reducing the number of installations required. This increases injection efficiency at the delivery point and reduces openhole erosion and casing impingement.

This device offers operational choice for control of exit port numbers, OFF/ON points along the well length and the option of running a traditional sliding sleeve technology without introducing specialized tooling. Attention to exit conditioning allows for a customized and balanced solution at the well, because not all holes are alike.
