Abstract

Fluid flow control assemblies capable of being disposed in a wellbore for hydrocarbon fluid production are described. The fluid flow control assemblies can include valves that are actuated via controls from a component positioned at or near the surface to control direction of fluid flow downhole. Packers can be set, slurry can be circulated to screens, and hydrocarbons can be produced via a single trip through the wellbore.
