Controlled delivery of wellbore fluids with analysis and treatment
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11920439B1) discloses a method for controlled delivery of a fluid for well bore operations. The method involves blending pressurized sources of base fluid to create a blended source with specific physical and chemical characteristics. The blended fluid is tested and compared to predetermined values, with adjustments made to the flow rates of the base fluid sources to achieve the desired characteristics. This process is repeated until the blended fluid matches the target values, ensuring consistency in the delivered fluid for wellbore operations, particularly in fracking activities.
Furthermore, the patent details variations in the method, including testing intervals ranging from 0.01 seconds to 30 minutes, and the incorporation of chlorine content as a key indicator in the blended fluid. The method aims to maintain the physical and chemical characteristics of the blended fluid within a range of less than five percent deviation from set targets. Additionally, the patent outlines a controller-based approach to alter flow rates and generate warnings if maximum flow rates are reached. By utilizing differential values and comparisons, the method ensures precise adjustments to the flow rates of base fluid sources, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of controlled fluid delivery for wellbore operations.
