Patent number: 11428615Abstract: Viscosity assemblies may be used to determine the viscosity of a sample fluid at a surface location under one or more downhole conditions prior to pumping or flowing of the sample fluid downhole. A viscosity assembly may include a bob assembly disposed in a container that includes a bob disposed about a magnet rotor that rotates when a shear force is applied by the flow of the sample fluid in the container. A stator coil may receive a control signal that induces a force or a voltage that causes the magnet rotor to rotate the bob by a predetermined distance to position the bob from the rotated position back to the initial position.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Bhargav Gajji, Ketan Chimanlal Bhaidasna, Richard Gary Morgan, Subrahmanyam Surya Venkata Sista, Abhhilash Mamilla, Sandeep Mavinkal Kizhakke Veedu, Andrew David Vos

Patent number: 10241019Abstract: Some examples of a variable diameter viscometer for evaluating well fluids can be implemented to perform a method. A well fluid including solid well particles is received in a gap formed between a first portion and a second portion of the viscometer. A width of the gap is adjustable during operation of the viscometer. Rheological properties of the fluid are evaluated by applying a shear to the well fluid in the gap by moving the first portion and the second portion relative to each other, and adjusting the width of the gap between the first portion and the second portion based, at least in part, on a size distribution of the solid well particles in the well fluid.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2014Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Dale E.
