PURPOSE AND SCOPE

1.1

PURPOSE

Reviewed by:
Brian McGillivray

Ref No:
PPS-CRM-001

The purpose of this manual is to ensure that HPPS personnel work to a common set of precommissioning engineering calculations, formulae and reference tables. By doing so it will
ensure that there is consistency in results from any engineering analysis carried out across
the department relevant to pre-commissioning activities. Although many of the
calculations carried out by HPPS and our sub-contractors are done using spreadsheets or
bespoke software, it is important that we promote a culture of non-reliance on software and
develop an understanding of the basic concepts behind the work we perform.
Manual calculations also acts as a check on the review and approval process to ensure that
the analysis carried out, by other means, by our own personnel and the sub-contractors are
correct and satisfactory.
The calculations are broadly presented in SI units, conversions factors are also contained
within.

1.2

SCOPE
The reference calculations, formulae and tables contained within this document are to
allow individuals to estimate key project variables such as volumes, pressures,
environmental and physical constraints and power requirements.
Accurate estimation is key to operational success. Using a standard reference will allow us
to be consistent in approach. The content adopts industry standards and practices which are
accepted by most of the legislative bodies. Many of the calculations are referred to in the
Standards, Regulations and Codes of Practice we work to on behalf of our Clients.

2. MATHEMATICAL FORMULAE
2.1

ALGEBRA

2.1.1 Expansion Formulae


(x+y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2
(x-y)2 = x2 - 2xy + y2
x2-y2 = (x-y) (x+y)
(x+y)3 = x3 + 3x3y + 3xy2 + y3
(x-y)3 = x3 - 3x3y + 3xy2 - y3
x3-y3 = (x-y) (x2 + xy + y2)
x3+y3 = (x+y) (x2 + xy + y2)

Cp is pressure and temperature dependent (hence estimation)

Critical Temperature - The highest temperature at which a distinct liquid phase exists. When the
temperature of a substance is below its critical temperature, its vapor can be liquefied by raising the
pressure. Above the critical temperature, however, it can't be liquefied thus it behaves as a gas no
matter what the pressure is because only one phase can exist.

To calculate St : Find the average pump strokes taken to raise the pressure by one bar between the
pressures of 25 to 35 bar. Multiply this average by 35 to obtain the theoretical
stroke figures, this figure approximates the volume to pressurise to 35 bar with no
air present in the system.
Estimation of the volume of included air, primarily this is a safety concern the secondary effect of
large volumes of included air is to increase fluid compressibility and amplify temperature response.

Description

UNITS (Metric)

is the pressure change in Bar /oC

Tf

is the temperature factor (from attached graph)

D
t

is the nominal pipe diameter

is the nominal wall thickness

Bar /oC

The temperature factor Tf should be read from the attached graph at the mean test temperature.
P should be multiplied by the temperature change during the test to find the pressure correction.
Account should be taken of both ambient submerged and pipework temperature, when calculating
the pressure temperature relationship.
Note 1: It has been observed that a significant time lag may occur between a change in ambient temperature
and a corresponding change in pipe temperature.
Note 2: Chill or heat factors on exposed pipe may have an effect on pressure readings.
(Source: PD8010 Part 1)

Estimation of temperature variation during a pressure test with fresh water as the test medium, this
is not the only method but is simpler than using fresh water coefficients in the J.C. Gray formulae
later in this document. The calculation is used to demonstrate that pressure variation can be
accounted for by temperature (in most cases we are trying to explain pressure losses, but the
calculation applies equally to pressure increases, however it is unusual for a client to request these
to be calculated).

flow regime also at this stage we are on the very low throughput areas of any vacuum pump curve making
approximations of the final drawdown very difficult as any vapour evaporation event will take the system from
one regime to the other in a very short time. In general all activities are within the viscous flow regime.
Calculations within diffusive flow regimes are usually fruitless as more often than not the system is cycling from

10. GEL SYSTEMS


10.1 INTRODUCTION
As many as 50 different fluids have been developed to solve various needs within the oil and gas
market. The major types of fluids that remain at the backbone of the industry are as follows:

Conventional linear gels


Borate-crosslinked fluids
Organometallic-crosslinked fluids
Aluminium phosphate-ester oil gels

10.2 GEL CHEMISTRY


It is not possible to discuss gel chemistry without first discussing polymers. The word polymer is
used to describe molecules which are several hundred times larger than a low molecular weight
average molecule. An example is shown below.

Example 1: Monomer and Polymer of Polyacrylamide


Polymer (Macromolecule, Polymer Chain, polymeric molecule): A natural or synthetic
compound with large molecules made up of simple molecules of the same kind.
Monomer: A compound whose molecules can join together to form a polymer.
A monomer is sometimes referred to as a repeater unit, and whilst this is not strictly true in all
cases, the terms will be used interchangeably within this manual.
In between monomers and polymers there are many other ..mers which we refer to.

Natural polymers have some advantages. They are generally cheaper to prepare as nature has done
a lot of the work, and they tend to be much more marketable due to their more environmentally
friendly nature.
(b) Man made polymers
Synthesised from low molecular weight precursors
Man made polymers are produced in the most part by two different processes and they are
categorised in that way.
(c) Addition polymers
Relatively cheap
Widely used in solution application
(d) Condensation polymers
More expensive
More complicated chemistry
Few applications in gel or solution
Water soluble polymers are often made by addition polymerisation.
addition polymers are polyacrylamide and polyvinylalcohol derivatives.

Secondary Structure
To better understand gels, it is important to understand the way the long chain molecules interact
with each other.

Linear: Straight polymer chains lying parallel to each other with no interaction gives a non
viscous fluid with no real gel like properties. However long chain molecules tend to interact
with each other (or themselves), much like a bowl of spaghetti. Trying to lift only a couple
of strands can result in a big knot of pasta as friction and interaction binds the strands
together. The addition of more base fluid (pasta sauce) can reduce viscosity by essentially
diluting the polymer chains (or spaghetti) making the gel less viscose. Conversely the
addition of more binding agent (polymer chains or spaghetti) will increase the overall
viscosity.

Cross-Linked: Structures based on strong covalent bonds between polymer chains which
cannot be broken by the application of heat or the addition of more base fluid. Although
more base fluid cannot break the covalent bonds, the cross linked gel may be "swollen" by
the addition of more base fluid to affect the rheological properties. To break the strong
bonds, the changing of pH or the addition of other chemicals would be required.

Simple Sugars
All simple sugars have the chemical formula C6H12O6. Their differences are due to structural
differences rather than different chemical compositions. In forming the cyclic sugar structure it is
always the carbon 1 which attacks the carbon 5 to give a 6 member ring. This cyclic form is
generally the basis for all the natural polymers we use.

10.3 LINEAR AND CROSS LINKED GELS
The basic properties of any gelled fluid depend a great deal upon the interaction of the polymer
molecules carried in the base fluid. A linear gel is generally a viscous fluid, with the viscosity being
derived from the presence of individual polymer chains.
A cross linked gel has actual bonds purposely formed between the individual polymer chains.
Cross linking gives rise to a 3-dimensional structure. If the base polymer units retain the affinity
for the solvent then the product will be a true gel with the typical elastic character and solvent
retention.

Higher cross-link density however will make the product stiffer, less elastic and more prone to the
loss of solvent as a separate fluid.
Polymer chains can be linked through physical association or interaction without being truly
chemically cross linked, giving rise to another type of gel. (e.g. XCD)

Linear Gel

Cross-Linked Gel

Linear gels are generally just high viscosity liquids. In order for them to attain any ridgity, high
polymer loadings are required.
The nature of cross linked gels results in a structure that has more rigid properties at relatively low
polymer loadings.
Sometimes terms such as ringing or lipping are used to describe a gel, generally ringing
would apply to something that resembles jelly, lipping would refer to a gel that when poured will
pull itself from the container from which it is poured.
The important thing to realise about Gels is that they are actually long chain polymers in solution.
10.4 HYDRATION
Hydration is the process where the long chain polymers which make up the gel become evenly
distributed though the gel solution The presence of long chains distributed throughout the solution
gives rise to a higher viscosity. Physical interactions between polymer chains, for example
hydrogen bonding or intermolecular helix formation (xanthan), increase the viscosity even more.
Rigid gels can be obtained by chemically crosslinking the chains. This generates in fact one big
molecule.
Hydration is generally pH, time and temperature dependent although it can be mechanically
accelerated in certain gels.
e.g. Xanthan will build viscosity very fast if it is sheared, however if sheared too much physical
crosslinks break down and takes some time to re-build itself.

10.5 CURING
This term is better used with gels where the bonding is a chemical reaction that slowly builds up the
gel strength.
e.g. a fracturing gel
10.6 PH CONTROL
pH is a measure of how acid or alkaline (base) a solution is. This measure is taken from the number
of hydrogen ions available in the solution. The scale goes from 0 for the most acidic to 14 for the
most base with 7 being neutral (pure water).
The pH of a solution can control how fast or slow reactions take place and as such pH control can
become very important when mixing some gels. The hydration rate and especially the ability to
cross link can all be controlled by the pH level.
For some gel recipes high pH increases the hydration rate, whilst for other recipes, low pH
will increase hydration rate.

10.7 CONVENTIONAL LINEAR GELS


Conventional linear gels are very simple to use and can be formulated with a wide array of different
polymers and fluids. Common polymer sources used with the linear gels are guar, HPG, HEC,
carboxymethylhydroxypropyl guar (CMHPG), and carboxymethylhydroxyethyl cellulose
(CMHEC).
Previous studies performed with these fluids have indicated that gel residue from guar fluids can be
as high as 8% to 10% by weight. The high residue content of guar gels can leave residues, if further
cleanup measures are not applied.22,23
Similar problems have been observed with linear HPG and CMHPG, though residue is not as
extreme with this type of fluid system. In both HPG and CMHPG fluids, the residue content can be
from 1% to 3% by weight. HEC fluid systems are virtually residue free and provide the cleanest of
the saccharine type materials.
The general characteristics of linear gels are poor debris transport and low fluid viscosity. Linear
gels tend to form thick filter cakes, in pipeline applications the material is so concentrated that the
work is actually being done with a filter cake.

New biopolymer gel systems have been recently added developed. These fluids feature clean,
controllable breaks and low residue gel. Some new biopolymer systems have high cost and
unfavourable shear-thinning properties.
10.8 BORATE-CROSSLINKED FLUIDS
Borate-crosslinked fluids were once restricted from high-temperature applications, but advances
have improved them for use in temperatures to 300F. The polymers most often used in these fluids
are guar and HPG. The crosslink obtained by using borate is reversible and is triggered by altering
the pH of the fluid system. The reversible characteristic of the crosslink in borate fluids helps them
clean up more effectively, resulting in good regained permeability and conductivity. In addition to
good cleanup properties, with the proper composition, borate fluids provide good proppant
transport, stable fluid rheology, and low fluid loss. The use of borate-crosslinked fluids has
increased significantly over the last decade, and HPG-borates have been used extensively.
10.9 ORGANOMETALLIC-CROSSLINKED FLUIDS
Organometallic-crosslinked fluids have long been the most popular class of fracturing fluids.
Primary fluids that are widely used are titanate and zirconate complexes of guar, HPG, CMHPG, or
CMHEC. These fluids are extremely stable at high temperatures and are currently the only type of
fluids that can be used at bottomhole temperatures that exceed 300F.
The sediment transport capabilities of organometallic-crosslinked fluids are excellent, and can
possible be applied to leak mitigation or repair. The metallic bonds which form the crosslink
mechanism in these fluids are not reversible and do not break when exposed to conventional gelbreaking systems. Cleanup difficulty is the major disadvantage to these types of fluids.
10.10

ALUMINUM PHOSPATE-ESTER OIL GELS

Gelled oil systems were the first high-viscosity fluids used in hydraulic fracturing operations. A
major advantage to this type of fluid is its compatibility with almost any formation type. There are
some disadvantages in using gelled oils. Gelling problems can occur when using crude oils and the
cost of using refined oils is very high. Also there are greater concerns regarding personnel safety
and environmental impact, as compared to most water-fluids. In wells with high-permeability
formations, the advantages of using gelled oils can outweigh their disadvantages, if safety and
environmental issues can be resolved.

BREAKERS

Breakers can be used to reduce gel viscosity back to something close to the base fluids rheology. In
some applications, the use of delayed, encapsulated breakers may be desirable. However, this may
pose the additional concerns which follow:

The encapsulated breaker may drop out of the gel if the rheology is unsuitable for
transportation.
Delay in operations may result in untimely break of the gel.

Break testing should be performed before the job is pumped. These tests help ensure that break
times are sufficient to place the treatment, but short enough to allow the gel to break in a reasonable
amount of time. The breaker schedule should provide good fluid properties for twice the anticipated
pump time and a complete break in the required timescale
Chemical descriptions of breakers and the breaking process are presented here. Note that this article

To help readers optimize the fluid system for hydraulic fracturing treatments, this article covers
several aspects of fracturing fluid breakers:

10.11.1 Definition and Use of Breakers


Gels are used to help create spacers, no pressure seal (to prevent sea water ingress), for
transportation of debris or sediment. Gel usually consists of water thickened with guar or
derivatised guar polymers.
Chemicals used to reduce the viscosity of gel systems are called breakers.
Water-based fracturing fluids are usually made viscous by the addition of 20 to 70 lb of guar or
derivatised guar polymer per 1000 gallons of water. Guar polymer, which is derived from the beans
of a guar plant, is referred to chemically as a galactomannan gum. A mixture of guar dissolved in
water forms a base gel, and suitable crosslinking agents are added to form a much more viscous
fluid, called a crosslinked fluid. The water-based fluids discussed here may be crosslinked with
metals, such as zirconium, titanium, or boron compounds. The viscosity of base gels are typically
20 to 50 cp; when it is crosslinked, the viscosity of the base gel is increased by 2 to 100 times
depending on the temperature, test method, and type of crosslinker used
10.11.2 How Breakers Work
Guar polymer is considered to have a molecular weight of approximately 2.2 million. Breakers
reduce the molecular weight of guar polymer by cutting the long polymer chain. As the polymer
chain is cut, the fluid's viscosity is reduced, as shown in Figure 1. Reducing the guar polymer
molecular weight to chains of about 10,000 molecular weight converts the fluid to near water-thin

viscosity. A single guar polymer must be cut into approximately 200 small pieces to eliminate
viscous effects.

Figure 1: Relationship of Average Polymer Molecular Weight and Fluid Viscosity

On the other hand, crosslinking the guar increases its molecular weight to extremely high values.
The actual number of crosslinks that are possible and that actually form depends on the shear level
of the system: the total molecular weight is inversely proportional to the shear the fluid receives.
The exact number of crosslink sites is not well known, but it could be as few as one to ten. The
number of crosslinks, and thus the molecular weight of the resulting polymer, significantly alters
fluid viscosity.
Crosslinks produced by borate ion are known to be reversible and can be completely eliminated at
neutral or acidic pH. Crosslinks formed by zirconium, titanium, antimony, and aluminium
compounds, however, are not reversible and may be broken only by unconventional methods. Gel
breakers are designed to reduce guar polymer viscosity by breaking down its molecular weight.
This process can occur independent of crosslinking bonds existing between polymer chains.

10.11.3 Mixing Gel Fluids


The effectiveness and efficiency of gels relies on the quality of the base and gel materials used to
perform the procedure. Special care should be taken when handling and mixing fluids. The
following concerns should be applied to protect fluid quality.

10.12

The cleanest base fluid possible should be used.


All base fluids should be filtered through a 10-micron filter or smaller.
Holding tanks should be inspected for cleanliness before adding base fluids. Substances
such as rust, dirt, chemicals, and old gel residue compromise fluid performance.
Each tank should be treated with biocide before the base fluid is added.
Pilot tests of the designed gelled fluid should be conducted on location before preparing
bulk quantities of fluid. Fluid properties such as viscosity, pH, break time, and crosslink
time should be identified. Confirming tests should be performed after the fluid is prepared.
Whenever possible, liquid gel concentrate (LGC) should be used to avoid lumping problems
associated with unhydrated, powdered gel.
Shearing and filtering fluids should be considered in applications where ultraclean fluid is
required.
FOAMED AND OTHER FLUIDS

Other fluids such as polymer-emulsion systems and gas-energized systems exist, but they have
limited application.
10.12.1 Internally Activated Silicates (IAS)
These systems are generally placed as water-thin freshwater based solutions: a silicate source and
an activator designed to trigger gelation of the silicate at a predesignated time. The gel times of
silicates depend on the system pH and temperature. Gel times of most currently applied IAS
systems are controlled by pH, taking the temperatures into account. The target pH is either achieved
on the surface by strong or weak acids or in situ by materials that slowly degrade (either thermally
or with time) to form acids. Resulting gels are stiff, brittle solids. IAS systems have been very
effective in field applications (Vinot et al., 1989; Herring et al. 1984).
10.12.2 Monomer Systems
These systems are placed as water-thin solutions containing a low molecular weight material
(monomers or oligomers) and an activator. After placement, the activator initiates the
polymerization of the monomeric or oligomeric material and results in a solution with a much
higher viscosity. Polymerizations are usually activated by adjusting the system to a pH that will
allow polymerization at the required time at downhole temperatures (similar to the IAS systems), or
by the slow decomposition (either thermal or with time) of the activator to form free radicals
capable of initiating polymerization. Monomer systems that have been used commercially include

phenol and formaldehyde controlled with pH, solid gels;


resorcinol and formaldehyde controlled by pH, stiff fragile gels;
acrylamide and an optional bisacrylamide-crosslinker activated by the decomposition of a
time-delayed oxidizer, molasses-like to rigid ringing gels; and
bifunctional aminoacrylate initiated by thermal decomposition of an oxidizer, lipping to
rigid ringing gels.

10.12.3 Crosslinked Polymer Systems


These are polymer- and crosslinker-containing systems that are placed at viscosities low enough to
allow injectability (generally, 10 to 200 cp). After placement, the systems crosslink to form thick
viscoelastic gels (from lipping gels to rigid gels, while the concentration and crosslinking is
increased).
The polymers used are normally water soluble: partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamides (PHPA),
thermally stabilized copolymers of PHPA, non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (NHPA), cationic
polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, guar, guar derivatives, xanthan, and scleroglucan. PHPA and its
copolymers are most commonly used; biopolymers have rarely positive results. Most of the
polymers start out crosslinkable, so they need to rely on the crosslinker chemistry for delay. NHPA
has no place for the crosslinkers to attach, so its crosslinking is delayed by the slow hydrolysis of
the polymer to form crosslink sites (Sydansk, 1993).
Metallic and organic crosslinkers have been used, both of which are generally pumped as "masked"
materials that are unable to interact with the polymer until their masks are removed. Metallic
"masks" are called ligands which are strongly attracted to the metal ion by ionic forces. The
stronger this attraction and larger the ligand, the longer it takes for the metal to release to crosslink
the polymer. The rate at which the metal is released can be controlled by pH or by the ligand
concentration in the system. Excess ligand can be added to the crosslinker or the
polymer/crosslinker solution to delay metal release (Lockhart and Albonico, 1992), but this often
results in weaker crosslinking interactions of the metal with the polymer. Metallic crosslinkers used
commercially include chromium acetate (Sydansk, 1992), chromium propionate (Mumallah, 1988),
zirconium lactate (Moffit et al., 1996), and aluminium citrate (Stavland and Jonsbraten, 1996).
Organic crosslinkers work in one of two ways:
(1)

A weakly-attached organic group that is connected to the part of the crosslinker molecule
that would crosslink slowly hydrolyzes off, leaving the crosslinker molecule free to react
with the polymer (glyoxal: Zaiton et al., 1991; glutaraldehyde: Matre, 1994);

(2)

Components that can slowly form the crosslinker are added to the polymer solution, rather
than a crosslinker (phenol/formaldehyde: Moradi-Araghi, 1994).

10.12.4 Foams
Generally, these materials are placed as solutions with either dissolved gas that expands after
placement, or with no gas so that it subsequently foams in product flow. Foams are not commonly
used but could be considered for water removal applications.

Above these viscosities you should plan on making calibration factor adjustments. The limits are
stated as Kinematic Viscosities.
Fluid viscosity impacts turbine meter calibration factor. The amount of impact varies with flow rate
and meter size. In general, a turbine meter will have repeatable performance at a given viscosity at a
constant flow rate. Since, with our viscous fluids, we don't enjoy such a luxury during our jobs,
inventory management (tank strapping) is done to provide turbine meter calibration factor
adjustments.
