An inflow control device comprising: a housing, wherein the housing comprises a receptacle and a receptacle opening; a plug, wherein the plug fits into the receptacle; and a cover sleeve, wherein the cover sleeve is positioned around a portion of the housing and comprises a cover sleeve port, wherein the cover sleeve is rotatable circumferentially around a longitudinal axis of the housing to align the cover sleeve port with the receptacle opening, and when the port and opening are aligned, the plug is positionable into the receptacle or removable from the receptacle. The inflow control device can be used in an oil, gas, or water production well, or an injection well to variably control the flow rate of a fluid flowing through the device.

Fluid injection tools for use in a wellbore can be configured on-site prior to run-in and can be opened or closed on demand when positioned in the well. A fluid injection tool can be used to provide steam to a wellbore annulus during a steam assisted gravity drainage procedure. Nozzles in the tool through which the steam escapes can be individually plugged to enable fine-tuning of steam output to match a desired steam output for that particular tool's location within the wellbore. A sliding side door can be actuated, such as by a shifting tool inserted within the inner diameter of the fluid injection tool, to enable or disable steam output from the fluid injection tool.
