Abstract

An adjustable fluid injection tool for use in a wellbore may be used to provide steam to a wellbore annulus. The tool may be adjusted immediately before being positioned in a well. Fluid may exit an inner space of the tool into an accumulation chamber, after which the fluid may exit the tool through one or more adjustable valves. An adjustable valve may be formed between a valve seat of a shroud and a valve plug of a plug sleeve. The plug sleeve may be positioned around a tubular of the tool and able to translate linearly with respect to the shroud by rotating the plug sleeve, thus adjusting the adjustable valve and controlling fluid flow out of the tool.
