Density of brine (completion and workover fluids)

Input(s)

ρm\rho_{m}: Density of Brine at ambient Surface Pressure and Temperature (lbm/gal)

CteC_{t e}: Coefficient of Thermal Expansion or Volume Expansion Factor (dimensionless)

TmT_{m} : Ambient Temperature of Brine-Density Measurement (F)\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)

TsT_{s}: Standard Reference Temperature (70F)\left(70^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)

Output(s)

ρs\rho_{s}: Density of Brine at Standard Reference Temperature (lbm/gal)(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{gal})

Formula(s)

ρs=ρm[1+Cte(TmTs)]\rho_{s}=\rho_{m}\left[1+C_{t e}\left(T_{m}-T_{s}\right)\right]
