Abstract
Equipment associated with a gelled fluid may be manipulated based on a stress response of the gelled fluid as determined by a gel microstructure destruction model comprising an equivalent work integral function. Further, systems and devices may be configured to manipulated equipment associated with a gelled fluid based on a stress response of the gelled fluid as determined by a gel microstructure destruction model comprising an equivalent work integral function.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- providing a gelled fluid;
- and
- manipulating an equipment associated with the gelled fluid based on a stress response of the gelled fluid as determined by a gel microstructure destruction model comprising an equivalent work integral function.
A method comprising:
- providing a gelled fluid;
- providing a computer comprising a processor, a memory, and storage executing a computer program, the program comprising:
- an executable instruction that causes the computer to:
- perform a regression to produce a stress response of a gelled fluid using a gel microstructure destruction model having a work integral;
- and
- produce an output based on the stress response;
- entering an input related to the gelled fluid into the computer so as to produce the output;
- and
- manipulating an equipment associated with the gelled fluid based on the output.
A computer comprising a processor, a memory, and storage executing a computer program, the program comprising:
