REAL-TIME FIELD FRICTION REDUCTION METER AND METHOD OF USE

摘要

A method of servicing a subterranean formation comprising communicating a servicing fluid comprising a hydratable friction reducer and a base fluid to the subterranean formation via a route of fluid communication, determining an actual percent by which the friction reducer reduces a pipe friction pressure, comparing the actual percent by which the friction reducer reduces the pipe friction pressure to an ideal percent by which the friction reducer should reduce pipe friction pressure to determine an effectiveness of the friction reducer, and determining if the effectiveness of the friction reducer is within an acceptable range. A method of servicing a subterranean formation comprising communicating a servicing fluid comprising a hydratable friction reducer and a base fluid to the subterranean formation via a route of fluid communication, measuring a wellhead pressure, determining a pipe friction pressure independent from the wellhead pressure, calculating a formation response pressure, and monitoring the formation response pressure.
