Viscosity and Beyond: Applied Rheology for the Oil and Gas Industry

Rheology, the science of fluid flow and deformation, is indispensable in oil and gas operations. This in-person workshop will explore how understanding rheological properties optimizes drilling, completion, and fracturing fluids for efficient hole cleaning, wellbore stability, and optimal proppant transport. We'll also delve into its crucial role in upstream flow assurance, addressing precipitate deposition, hydrate formation, and emulsion stability. Join us to discover rheology as a powerful tool for the oil and gas industry.

Key takeaways: 

• Viscosity characterization: Analysis of fluid flow behavior under varying temperature, pressure, and shear conditions
• Viscoelasticity and performance: Assessment of emulsion stability, hole cleaning, and proppant transport through viscoelastic property evaluation
• Lubricity analysis: Tribological property measurement for characterizing fluid lubricity
• Powder flow analysis: Overview of techniques for characterizing powder flow in oil and gas applications
• Rotational rheometry demonstration: Practical application of rotational rheometers for fluid property determination

By focusing on these elements, this workshop will effectively bridge the gap between theoretical rheology and its practical application in the oil and gas sector.

Who should attend: 

This workshop is designed for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals interested in understanding the benefits of rheology for the gas and oil industry. 

Workshop format: 

The workshop will be delivered live by our scientists and application specialists. Lunches and coffee breaks will be provided by Anton Paar USA.
