EN ISO 13503-5:2006

Petroleum and natural gas industries - Completion fluids and materials - Part 5: Procedures for measuring the long-term conductivity of proppants (ISO 13503-5:2006)

ISO 13503-5:2006 provides standard testing procedures for evaluating proppants used in hydraulic fracturing and gravel packing operations. ISO 13503-5:2006 provides a consistent methodology for testing performed on hydraulic fracturing and/or gravel packing proppants. The "proppants" mentioned henceforth in this part of ISO 13503-5:2006 refer to sand, ceramic media, resin-coated proppants, gravel packing media, and other materials used for hydraulic fracturing and gravel-packing operations.
ISO 13503-5:2006 is not applicable for use in obtaining absolute values of proppant pack conductivities under downhole reservoir conditions.

L'ISO 13503-5:2006 fournit des modes opératoires d'essais normalisés pour l'évaluation des agents de soutènement utilisés dans les opérations de fracturation hydraulique et de gravillonnage.
L'ISO 13503-5:2006 est de fournir une méthodologie cohérente d'essai des agents de soutènement utilisés pour les opérations de fracturation hydraulique et/ou de remplissage de gravier. Il n'est pas prévu qu'elle soit utilisée pour déduire des valeurs absolues de conductivités de matériaux de soutènement dans des conditions de fond.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13503-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials. equipment and offshore structures
