    Abstract: Systems and methods measure one or more rheological properties and/or parameters of a fluid and establish at least one correlation between the measured one or more rheological properties and/or parameters. The systems and methods may correlate the measured one or more rheological properties and/or parameters to static aging results to establish the at least one correlation between the one or more rheological properties and/or parameters of the fluid. The systems and methods may predict at least one sagging tendency of the fluid based on the established at least one correlation and may measure and/or monitor static sagging of the fluid based on the predicted at least one sagging tendency of the fluid. The systems and methods may guide fluid treatment of the fluid or produce a mud system based on the predicted at least one sagging tendency of the fluid.

    Abstract: A wellbore fluid may include a non-oleaginous internal phase, an oleaginous external phase, and an emulsifier having a molecular weight of at least 700 daltons, whereby the emulsifier may include at least one tertiary amine. A method of completing a wellbore operation may include injecting a wellbore fluid downhole, the wellbore fluid including a non-oleaginous internal phase, an oleaginous external phase, and an emulsifier having a molecular weight of at least 700 daltons. The emulsifier may include at least one tertiary amine. The method may further include injecting a wash fluid comprising a protonating agent downhole.

    Abstract: A device includes a housing having a bore formed axially therethrough. The housing includes a stop that protrudes radially inward proximate to a lower end of the housing. The device also includes a lower piston positioned in the bore. The lower piston is configured to move axially within the bore in response to a pressure differential across the lower piston. The lower piston is prevented from passing out through the lower end of the housing by the stop. The lower piston has a lower piston hole formed therethrough. The device also includes an upper piston positioned in the bore. The upper piston is configured to move axially within the bore in response to a pressure differential across the upper piston. The upper piston has an upper piston hole formed therethrough. The device is configured to receive a fluid in the bore, between the upper and lower pistons.

    Abstract: A deck inlet for a sifter includes a pan and a spreader. The pan is oriented at an angle from about 2° to about 20° with respect to a horizontal plane. The spreader is coupled to or integral with an upper surface of the pan. The spreader is configured to spread a material substantially evenly across a width of the pan.

    Abstract: Rheometer systems and related methods are provided. In accordance with an example, a rheometer system includes a rheometer and a platform supporting the rheometer and movable between a lowered position and a raised position. The rheometer system includes a fluid receptacle defining an opening. The rheometer system includes a receptacle housing having a housing side and adapted to receive the fluid receptacle. The opening of the fluid receptacle facing the rheometer when the fluid receptacle is received by the receptacle housing. The rheometer system includes a thermoelectric device coupled adjacent to the housing side. The rheometer system includes a controller in communication with the thermoelectric device and adapted to control a temperature of the thermoelectric device.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for a screen assembly configurable in a multi-screen configuration. The screen assembly in the multi-screen configuration includes a lower shaker screen and an upper shaker screen. A track is configured to be disposed on an inside wall of a vibratory separator and includes an upper retainer and a lower retainer. A screen clamping assembly is disposed in the track and includes a small spacer disposed between the lower shaker screen and the upper shaker screen in the track when the screen assembly is in the multi-screen configuration. An actuator is disposed in the track and has a clamped position where the actuator is actuated to provide a clamping force to clamp the lower shaker screen, the upper shaker screen, and the small spacer between the upper retainer and the lower retainer of the track.

    Abstract: A composition comprising an oleaginous base fluid, an emulsifier and a liquid tertiary amide is disclosed. A wellbore fluid may include an oleaginous continuous phase, a non-oleaginous discontinuous phase and the composition to stabilize the non-oleaginous discontinuous phase within the oleaginous continuous phase. A method comprising adding the composition to a wellbore fluid and emplacing the wellbore fluid mixed with the composition into a wellbore is also provided.
