  • Page 7: Introduction

    Stirring Fluid Loss Manual Introduction The Stirring Fluid Loss Assembly simulates filtration at downhole conditions in a wellbore. This test instrument determines the volume of fluid loss (filtrate) from a cement slurry, water-based mud or fracturing fluid at a set temperature and pressure. The test results are used to evaluate the fluid-loss control properties.

    Stirring Fluid Loss Manual Document Conventions The following icons are used in this manual as necesary. NOTE. Notes emphasize additional information that may be useful to the reader. CAUTION. Describes a situation or practice that requires operator awareness or action in order to avoid undesirable consequences. MANDATORY ACTION.
  • Page 9: Safety

    Stirring Fluid Loss Manual Safety Safe operation of the Stirring Fluid Loss Test Assembly requires the operator understand and practice the correct assembly and operation of the equipment. Improper assembly, operation, or the use of defective parts increases the likelihood of cell leakage or failure, which could result in serious injury and damage.
  • Page 10: Safe Electrical Operation

    Stirring Fluid Loss Manual Safe Electrical Operation Make sure the electrical source is fused and grounded. Verify the power cord on the instrument is in good condition and that it has the proper ground connection. Electrical problems may not be obvious by looking at the equipment. If the unit blows fuses or trips breakers, the heating time seems longer than normal or the temperature controller does not reliably maintain temperature, then electrical repair may be required.
  • Page 11: Features And Specifications

    Stirring Fluid Loss Manual Features and Specifications The Stirring Fluid Loss Test Assembly is equipped with a stirrer to simulate circulation and a heating jacket to simulate the bottomhole circulating temperature (BHCT). The pressure differential between annular and formation pressure is simulated by pressurized nitrogen.

  • Page 30: Test Analysis

    Stirring Fluid Loss Manual Test Analysis References API Recommended Practice for Testing Well Cements, API RP 10B-2. Results Test results will vary. According to API RP 10B-2, fluid loss tests that run the full 30 minutes typically show 5% variability. However, potential error increases for tests that run less than 30 minutes.
  • Page 31: Calculations

    Stirring Fluid Loss Manual When a condenser is used, the filtrate volume in the condenser should be recorded. Calculations • For tests that run the entire 30 minutes without blowing dry, calculate API Fluid Loss as follows: API Fluid Loss = 2 Q where Q is the volume of filtrate collected at 30 minutes in ml.
