Additive crystalline salt amount to increase the density - Method II (single-salt systems)
Input(s)
\(V_{i}\): Volume of Initial Brine Formulation (bbl)
\(V_{f}\): Volume of Brine Following the Adjustment (bbl)
\(C_{s f}\): Concentration of Salt in Final Brine Formulation \((\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{bbl})\)
\(C_{s i}\): Concentration of Salt in Initial Brine Formulation \((\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{bbl})\)
Output(s)
\(m_{s}\): Additional Salt need to raise the Density (lbm)
Formula(s)
\[
m_{s}=\left(C_{s f} V_{f}\right)-\left(C_{s i} V_{i}\right)
\]
