  • Methods and systems using a fluid treatment polar graph
    Patent number: 9163492
    Abstract: Downhole fluid treatment planning systems and methods should enable efficient creation, review, and editing of downhole fluid treatment plans. In some of the disclosed embodiments, a downhole fluid treatment planning method includes receiving downhole environment information. The method also includes generating a polar graph with multiple stage type wedges to visually represent fluid coverages or volumes of a downhole fluid treatment plan based on the downhole environment information. Meanwhile, a system for downhole fluid treatment planning includes a memory having software and an output device. The system also includes a processor coupled to the memory to execute the software. The software configures the processor to receive downhole environment information and to output a polar graph. The polar graph includes multiple stage type wedges to visually represent fluid coverages or volumes of a downhole fluid treatment plan based on the downhole environment information.
