An inflow control system for a borehole, including a plurality of electrically controlled inflow control devices (ICDs), a plurality of power sources, at least one source being connected to one of the ICDs and also being connectable to another of the ICDs, and a downhole controller operably connected to the ICDs and to the power sources, the controller configured to modify power supply from the power sources to the ICDs. A method for managing inflow in a wellbore, including powering a plurality of inflow control devices (ICDs) with a plurality of power sources, managing power distribution to the plurality of ICDs from the plurality of power sources with a downhole controller. A wellbore system including a borehole in a subsurface formation, a string in the borehole, and an inflow control system, disposed within or as a part of the string.

Inflow control system for a borehole, and method

A disappear-on-demand material actuator, including a trigger disposed in operable contact with the material, the trigger configured to respond to manipulation of a tubing string in operable communication with the actuator, and an electrical energy source electrically connected to the material and configured to supply electrical energy to the material upon a sequence initiation of the trigger. A method for actuating a disappear-on-demand material, including manipulating a tubing string, changing a trigger on the actuator, and conveying electrical energy to the material.
