16 . Assembly according to claim 5 , wherein said trigger section triggers when a pre selected radio frequency identification chip is passing through said trigger section.
17 . A method for sealing a part of an annulus between a well tubular and a well bore, comprising:
providing one or more assemblies that each include:
first fluid control means being provided in an opening in said well tubular,
second fluid control means being provided in another opening in said well tubular and
a set of packers for sealing off the space between said tubing and the well bore surface, said set of packers being positioned such that a part of the tubular having both first and second fluid control means is located between the set of packers, where said first fluid control means is capable of blocking fluid flow from the interior of said well tubular to said space between said tubing and the well bore surface and that the second fluid control means is capable of blocking fluid flow from said space between said tubing and the well bore surface to the interior of said well tubular, said second fluid control means comprise a check valve, which will allow fluid to flow from the interior of said well tubular to said space between the tubular and the well bore
drilling a well into a formation; introducing into the well the one or more assemblies, said assemblies partake as elements inserted between a conventional tubular, thereby providing an annular space, or annulus, between said tubular and the formation surrounding said tubular; pumping of acid through said tubular and further through said second fluid control means into the formation in order to stimulate said well; triggering of at least two assemblies in order to expand two packers to seal off a part of said annular space and to open the first fluid control means, allowing production to flow into the tubular through first fluid control means.
