Abstract: Downhole flow control valves (120) include a valve assembly (130), driven gear (180), drive gear (182), and motor (10')· The valve assembly includes an outer sleeve (140) and inner sleeve (160). The outer sleeve has openings (146) and a fixed guide (150). The inner sleeve is disposed within the outer sleeve and includes an outer surface (162) and an axially abutting surface (170) defining a stair-stepped pathway (172). The fixed guide abuts against the axially abutting surface. The abutment of the fixed guide against the axially abutting surface of the inner sleeve causes the inner sleeve to translate axially between an open position and a closed position relative to the outer sleeve when rotated through operation of the motor, drive gear and driven gear. Systems (300) for controlling fluid flow from lateral branches (112) of a multilateral wellbore (100) include at least a plurality of the downhole flow control valves and a downhole electrical power source (124) for generating electrical power to operate the motor.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method: Real-time measurements are received by a wellhead growth monitoring computer system from a sensor on a wellhead of a well. The sensor is directed to a fixed point on a platform grating that is facing or underneath the wellhead. The real-time measurements, including measurements of a distance from the sensor to the fixed point, are analyzed by the wellhead growth monitoring computer system, including comparing the real-time measurements to previously-received measurements from the sensor. A determination is made, by the wellhead growth monitoring computer system based on the analyzing, that wellhead growth of a wellhead structure of the well has occurred. The wellhead growth is a vertical elongation of the wellhead structure. A notification that is provided to a user includes a measure of the wellhead growth and a time at which the wellhead growth occurred.
