19、dForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a

20、technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matter

21、s of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulat

22、ed to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible

23、 for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 13503-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 3, Drilling and completion fluids, and well cements. ISO 13503 consists of

24、the following parts, under the general title Petroleum and natural gas industries Completion fluids and materials: Part 1: Measurement of viscous properties of completion fluids Part 2: Measurement of properties of proppants used in hydraulic fracturing and gravel-packing operations Part 3: Testing

25、of heavy brines Part 4: Procedure for measuring stimulation and gravel-pack fluid leakoff under static conditions Part 5: Procedures for measuring the long-term conductivity of proppants API 13M-4 / ISO 13503-4 iv ISO 13503-4:2006(E) ISO 2006 All rights reserved vIntroduction The objective of this p

26、art of ISO 13503 is to provide a standard procedure for measuring fluid loss under static conditions. This standard procedure was compiled on the basis of several years of comparative testing, debate, discussion and continued research by the industry 1). In this part of ISO 13503, where practical, U

During all procedures, steps shall be taken to minimize air entrainment into the fluid. The procedure used to prepare the fluid sample shall be documented as

36、 follows: a) description and/or composition of the base fluid; b) base fluid pre-treatment such as filtration; c) preparation of the fluid, which shall be described, starting with the base fluid, such as deionized water, tap water source, seawater (location) or type of organic fluids; d) identificat

37、ion of mixing apparatus, container volume and total volume of fluid prepared; e) time of mixing should include mixing time(s) at one or more mixer speed(s); f) identification of each component and amount added; g) order and method of addition of each component; h) aging or holding time at temperatur

38、e, if required, prior to tests; i) test temperature; j) pH (for aqueous fluids, where applicable); k) all other aspects of the fluid preparation that are known to affect the outcome of measurement.

39、he instruments associated with these procedures shall be calibrated according to each manufacturers recommended method. 6 Measurement procedure 6.1 Introduction 6.1.1 General considerations Fluid-loss tests are conducted to simulate leakoff into a formation. Fluid-loss tests measure the rate of leak

40、off into a porous medium to calculate fluid-loss coefficients to guide engineering design of well completion operations. This part of ISO 13503 provides guidelines on known limitations to the testing procedure. Where data are reported as being obtained using this procedure, the procedure shall be fo

41、llowed exactly. The fluid shall not react with instrument surfaces to generate contaminants, change critical measurement dimensions or impair proper mechanical operation. 6.1.2 Apparatus Figures 1 and 2 present drawings of two types of typical static fluid-loss apparatus 2)with 175 ml and 500 ml cap
