  • Methods for using high-yielding non-Newtonian fluids for severe lost circulation prevention
    Patent number: 7499846
    Abstract: A system and method to model and analyze the mixing energies of high-yielding non-Newtonian fluids to prevent chemical lost circulation is disclosed. Laboratory tests are performed under varying conditions from which data on the mixing energies needed to optimize the use of high-yielding non-Newtonian fluids to prevent lost circulation is obtained. This data is then applied to a non-linear mathematical modeling system that is capable of scaling the data to give a dimensionless value. This value can be combined with historic information to predict optimal flow rates and mixtures to prevent chemical lost circulation. This data may be verified by means of simulation, lab testing, or application to a full-size well.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2005
    Date of Patent: March 3, 2009
    Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert Massingill, Melissa Allin, Rickey Morgan, Mark Savery, Ron Morgan, Johnny Johnson
  • Methods for Using High-Yielding Non-Newtonian Fluids for Severe Lost Circulation Prevention
    Publication number: 20080147367
    Abstract: A system and method to model and analyze the mixing energies of high-yielding non-Newtonian fluids to prevent chemical lost circulation is disclosed. Laboratory tests are preformed under varying conditions from which data on the mixing energies needed to optimize the use of high-yielding non-Newtonian fluids to prevent lost circulation is obtained. This data is then applied to a non-linear mathematical modeling system that is capable of scaling the data to give a dimensionless value. This value can be combined with historic information to predict optimal flow rates and mixtures to prevent chemical lost circulation. This data may be verified by means of simulation, lab testing, or application to a full-size well.
