METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MEASUREMENT OF ELECTRICAL STABILITY OF FLUIDS

摘要

Method and apparatus for characterizing water-in-oil or invert emulsion fluids for use in drilling well bores in hydro-carbon bearing subterranean formations. A fluid stability measurement device is disclosed. The device comprises a reference electrode and a second electrode coupled to an insulating body. A guard electrode is placed in the path between the reference electrode and the second electrode on the surface of the insulating body.
