A variable flow resistance system for use with a subterranean well includes a first flow path configured to receive a fluid, a sensor configured to measure a property of the fluid received into the first flow path, and an actuator configured to control an inflow rate of the fluid received into the first flow path based upon the property of the fluid measured by the sensor.

Abstract:
A variable flow resistance system for use with a subterranean well includes a first flow path to receive a fluid, a flow rate sensor to measure a flow rate of the fluid received into the first flow path, and an actuator to control an inflow rate of the fluid received into the first flow path based upon the measured flow rate of the fluid.
