Methods for monitoring the formation and transport of a fracturing fluid using opticoanalytical devices |
摘要 |
In or near real-time monitoring of fluids can take place using an opticoanalytical device that is configured for monitoring the fluid. Fluids can be monitored prior to or during their introduction into a subterranean formation using the opticoanalytical devices. Produced fluids from a subterranean formation can be monitored in a like manner. The methods can comprise providing at least one fracturing fluid component; combining the at least one fracturing fluid component with a base fluid to form a fracturing fluid; and monitoring a characteristic of the fracturing fluid using a first opticoanalytical device that is in optical communication with a flow pathway for transporting the fracturing fluid. |

1. A method comprising:
providing at least one fracturing fluid component; combining the at least one fracturing fluid component with a base fluid to form a fracturing fluid; monitoring a characteristic of the fracturing fluid using a first opticoanalytical device that is in optical communication with a flow pathway for transporting the fracturing fluid; and before combining to form the fracturing fluid, monitoring at least the identity and concentration of the at least one fracturing fluid component using a second opticoanalytical device that is in optical communication with a flow pathway for transporting the at least one fracturing fluid component. |
