Modeling the suspendability of fibers in a treatment fluid using equations

摘要

A method of predictive modeling of a treatment fluid comprises: determining the value of properties of a base fluid and insoluble particulates; providing a proposed suspending agent; performing a first calculation of the suspendability of the proposed suspending agent as determined by a yield gravity function equation; evaluating if the result from the first calculation indicates a stable treatment fluid comprising the base fluid, the insoluble particulates, and the proposed suspending agent, or if the result does not indicate a stable treatment fluid, then: modifying the value of at least one of the properties of the proposed suspending agent, base fluid, and/or insoluble particulate; and performing a second calculation, wherein the same or different property values are continued to be modified and the calculation is continued to be performed until the result indicates a stable treatment fluid; and introducing the stable treatment fluid into a wellbore.

1. A method of predictive modeling of a treatment fluid comprising:
(A) determining the value of one or more properties of a base fluid; (B) determining the value of one or more properties of insoluble particulates; (C) providing a proposed suspending agent; (D) performing a first calculation of the suspendability of the proposed suspending agent as determined by a yield gravity function equation based on the value of the one or more properties of the base fluid and the insoluble particulates, and the value of at least one property of the proposed suspending agent; (E) evaluating if the result from the first calculation indicates a stable treatment fluid comprising the base fluid, the insoluble particulates, and the proposed suspending agent, or if the result does not indicate a stable treatment fluid, then:
(i) modifying the value of at least one of the properties of the proposed suspending agent, the base fluid, the insoluble particulate, or combinations thereof; and(ii) performing a second calculation of the suspendability of the proposed suspending agent as determined by the yield gravity function equation based on the modified value, wherein the same or different property values are continued to be modified and the calculation is continued to be performed until the result indicates a stable treatment fluid; and (F) introducing the stable treatment fluid into a wellbore.
