Monitoring nanoparticle additives in wellbore treatment fluid using x-ray fluorescence

A method comprising:

• receiving, from a fluid monitoring system, radiation intensity data of a representative sample, the radiation intensity data generated using X-ray fluorescence, wherein the representative sample is generated by the fluid monitoring system by performing a separation process with respect to a sample of a treatment fluid transported downhole in a wellbore, wherein the treatment fluid comprises a plurality of nanoparticle additives to control fluid loss;
• determining, based on the radiation intensity data, whether a concentration of the plurality of nanoparticle additives in the representative sample is outside of a predefined range to control fluid loss in the wellbore;
• and
• in response to determining that the concentration of the plurality of nanoparticle additives in the representative sample is outside of the predefined range, performing a mitigation operation to modify the concentration of the plurality of nanoparticle additives to be within the predefined range.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code that is executable by a processing device for causing the processing device to:

• receive, from a fluid monitoring system, radiation intensity data of a representative sample, the radiation intensity data generated using X-ray fluorescence, wherein the representative sample is generated by the fluid monitoring system by performing a separation process with respect to a sample of a treatment fluid transported downhole in a wellbore, wherein the treatment fluid comprise a plurality of nanoparticle additives to control fluid loss;
• determine, based on the radiation intensity data, whether a concentration of the plurality of nanoparticle additives in the representative sample is outside of a predefined range to control fluid loss in the wellbore;
• and
• in response to determining that the concentration of the plurality of nanoparticle additives in the representative sample is outside of the predefined range, perform a mitigation operation to modify the concentration of the plurality of nanoparticle additives to be within the predefined range.
