Abstract
Techniques for analyzing the performance of a friction reducer include receiving a pressure pulse signal associated with a well system, determining a friction coefficient corresponding to the performance of the friction reducer in the well system, and performing one or more operations based, at least in part, on the friction coefficient.
Claims28
A method for analyzing performance of a friction reducer, the method comprising:
- receiving a pressure pulse signal associated with a well system;
- determining, based at least in part on the pressure pulse signal, a friction coefficient corresponding to the performance of the friction reducer in the well system;
- and
- performing one or more operations based, at least in part, on the friction coefficient, wherein said performing the one or more operations comprises modifying at least one of a friction reducer amount, a friction reducer type, or a friction reducer concentration.

A system comprising:
- a computing system comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable mediums including instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to execute one or more operations for analyzing performance of a friction reducer, the instructions including:
- instructions to receive a pressure pulse signal associated with a well system;
- instructions to determine, based at least in part on the pressure pulse signal, a friction coefficient corresponding to the performance of the friction reducer in the well system;
- and
- instructions to perform one or more operations based, at least in part, on the friction coefficient, wherein the instructions to perform one or more operations comprise instructions to modify at least one of a friction reducer amount, a friction reducer type, or a friction reducer concentration.
