Patent number: 9410877Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for determining a property of a wellbore fluid are disclosed. In some implementations, a computing system receives an image of a first sample of the wellbore fluid filling a conduit to a threshold volume of the conduit. The computing system determines a first time duration of the first sample of the wellbore fluid filling the conduit to the threshold volume of the conduit based on the image of the first sample. The computing system receives an image of a second sample of the wellbore fluid filling the conduit to the threshold volume of the conduit. The computing system determines a second time duration of the second sample of the wellbore fluid filling the conduit to the threshold volume of the conduit based on the image of the second sample. A property of the wellbore fluid is determined based on a difference between the first and second time durations.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Jason Eric Maxey, Xiangnan Ye, HsinChen Chung, Narongsak Tonmukayakul
