Zusammenfassung:A flow control device and associated method are provided, the flow control device comprising: a body locatable within a wall of a tubular and defining a primary inlet and a primary outlet, wherein a primary flow path is defined between the primary inlet and primary outlet; a valve member is disposed within the body, the valve member being moveable in reverse first and second directions to selectively vary a flow area of the primary flow path; and, a sealed pilot pressure chamber defining a pilot pressure inlet for receiving a pilot pressure, the valve member being in pressure communication with the sealed pilot pressure chamber such that pilot pressure may act to bias the valve member in one of the first and second directions, wherein the pilot pressure is provided as a function of a property of fluid flowing through the primary flow path.
