Choke

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000659

A restriction in the flow path of a well, typically a valve with an adjustable orifice, used to control the rate of fluid production. It creates backpressure on the reservoir, which can prevent sand production or water coning. Chokes are rated by their maximum operating pressure and flow capacity.
