Abstract:

A radio isotope method for rapid determination of proppant concentration and a test measurement unit RIKP-01 constructed on the basis of it provides a relative error in determining proppant concentration of not more than ± 3.5% with a measurement time of 15 sec that is four times better than for the world leader, i.e., the firm Halliburton (USA).
