Petroleum and natural gas industries - Completion fluids and materials - Part 3: Testing of heavy brines

This document covers the physical properties, potential contaminants and test procedures for heavy brine fluids manufactured for use in oil and gas well drilling, completion, and workover fluids. This document supplements API RP 13J, 5th edition (2014), the requirements of which are applicable with the exceptions specified in this document. This document provides more suitable method descriptions for determining the formate brines pH, carbonate/bicarbonate concentrations and crystallization temperature at ambient pressure compared to the methods provided by API RP 13J, 5th edition (2014). This document is intended for the use of manufacturers, service companies and end-users of heavy brines.

Petroleum and natural gas industries - Completion fluids and materials - Part 3 : testing of heavy brines

<p>ISO 13503-3:2005 covers the physical properties, potential contaminants and test procedures for heavy brine fluids manufactured for use in oil and gas well drilling, completion and workover fluids.</p> <p>ISO 13503-3:2005 provides methods for assessing the performance and physical characteristics of heavy brines for use in field operations. It includes procedures for evaluating the density or specific gravity, the clarity or amount of particulate matter carried in the brine, the crystallization point or the temperature (both ambient and under pressure) at which the brines make the transition between liquid and solid, the pH, and iron contamination.</p> <p>It also contains a discussion of gas hydrate formation and mitigation, brine viscosity, corrosion testing, buffering capacity and a standardised reporting form.</p> <p>ISO 13503-3:2005 is intended for the use of manufacturers, service companies and end-users of heavy brines.</p>

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
