US Patent:

7499846, Mar 3, 2009

Filed:

Jul 6, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/175973

Inventors:

Robert Massingill - Porter TX, US
Melissa Allin - Comanche OK, US
Rickey Morgan - Duncan OK, US
Mark Savery - Duncan OK, US
Ron Morgan - Waurika OK, US
Johnny Johnson - Duncan OK, US

Assignee:

Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. - Duncan OK

International Classification:

G06G 7/48

US Classification:

703 10

Abstract:

A system and method to model and analyze the mixing energies of high-yielding non-Newtonian fluids to prevent chemical lost circulation is disclosed. Laboratory tests are performed under varying conditions from which data on the mixing energies needed to optimize the use of high-yielding non-Newtonian fluids to prevent lost circulation is obtained. This data is then applied to a non-linear mathematical modeling system that is capable of scaling the data to give a dimensionless value. This value can be combined with historic information to predict optimal flow rates and mixtures to prevent chemical lost circulation. This data may be verified by means of simulation, lab testing, or application to a full-size well.

Abstract:

A system and method to model and analyze the mixing energies of high-yielding non-Newtonian fluids to prevent chemical lost circulation is disclosed. Laboratory tests are preformed under varying conditions from which data on the mixing energies needed to optimize the use of high-yielding non-Newtonian fluids to prevent lost circulation is obtained. This data is then applied to a non-linear mathematical modeling system that is capable of scaling the data to give a dimensionless value. This value can be combined with historic information to predict optimal flow rates and mixtures to prevent chemical lost circulation. This data may be verified by means of simulation, lab testing, or application to a full-size well.
