Using the above conditions, TPSV (terminal particle settling velocity) for a spherical 20 mesh (US)

sand particle size (0.0328 inch) is 0.42 fps and 0.90 fps for a 10 mesh sand (0.0787 inch). Particle size
range in a recovered sand sample can be wide, so TPSV values for annular fluid velocity design
should be calculated for the largest particles.
In vertical or near vertical wells, the minimum annular velocity should be two times the TPSV of solids
to be washed. However, in horizontal wells annular fluid velocity should be at least 10 times TPSV to
maintain particle motion in the direction of fluid flow. Thus, annular fluid velocity in concentric tubing
workovers is effective only when fluid drag on particles offsets gravity effects.
In wellbores where maximum practical annular fluid velocity is insufficient to remove solids, a wash
fluid with high suspension characteristics should be used. Highly viscous linear or cross-linked gels
can be used to increase fluid suspension capabilities. TPSV calculations for Non-Newtonian fluids are
more complicated than the previous case. Gel shear degradation data, dynamic TPSV values for

Non-Newtonian fluids for coiled tubing wash programs.

Using the above conditions, TPSV (terminal particle settling velocity) for a spherical 20 mesh (US)
sand particle size (0.0328 inch) is 0.42 fps and 0.90 fps for a 10 mesh sand (0.0787 inch). Particle size
range in a recovered sand sample can be wide, so TPSV values for annular fluid velocity design
should be calculated for the largest particles.
In vertical or near vertical wells, the minimum annular velocity should be two times the TPSV of solids
to be washed. However, in horizontal wells annular fluid velocity should be at least 10 times TPSV to
maintain particle motion in the direction of fluid flow. Thus, annular fluid velocity in concentric tubing
workovers is effective only when fluid drag on particles offsets gravity effects.
In wellbores where maximum practical annular fluid velocity is insufficient to remove solids, a wash
fluid with high suspension characteristics should be used. Highly viscous linear or cross-linked gels
can be used to increase fluid suspension capabilities. TPSV calculations for Non-Newtonian fluids are
more complicated than the previous case. Gel shear degradation data, dynamic TPSV values for
anticipated annular shear rates and equivalent particle sizes should be obtained when considering

Using the above conditions, TPSV (terminal particle settling velocity) for a spherical 20 mesh (US)
sand particle size (0.0328 inch) is 0.42 fps and 0.90 fps for a 10 mesh sand (0.0787 inch). Particle size
range in a recovered sand sample can be wide, so TPSV values for annular fluid velocity design
should be calculated for the largest particles.
In vertical or near vertical wells, the minimum annular velocity should be two times the TPSV of solids
to be washed. However, in horizontal wells annular fluid velocity should be at least 10 times TPSV to
maintain particle motion in the direction of fluid flow. Thus, annular fluid velocity in concentric tubing
workovers is effective only when fluid drag on particles offsets gravity effects.
In wellbores where maximum practical annular fluid velocity is insufficient to remove solids, a wash
fluid with high suspension characteristics should be used. Highly viscous linear or cross-linked gels
can be used to increase fluid suspension capabilities. TPSV calculations for Non-Newtonian fluids are

anticipated annular shear rates and equivalent particle sizes should be obtained when considering
Non-Newtonian fluids for coiled tubing wash programs.

Using the above conditions, TPSV (terminal particle settling velocity) for a spherical 20 mesh (US)
sand particle size (0.0328 inch) is 0.42 fps and 0.90 fps for a 10 mesh sand (0.0787 inch). Particle size
range in a recovered sand sample can be wide, so TPSV values for annular fluid velocity design
should be calculated for the largest particles.
In vertical or near vertical wells, the minimum annular velocity should be two times the TPSV of solids
to be washed. However, in horizontal wells annular fluid velocity should be at least 10 times TPSV to
maintain particle motion in the direction of fluid flow. Thus, annular fluid velocity in concentric tubing
workovers is effective only when fluid drag on particles offsets gravity effects.
In wellbores where maximum practical annular fluid velocity is insufficient to remove solids, a wash
fluid with high suspension characteristics should be used. Highly viscous linear or cross-linked gels
can be used to increase fluid suspension capabilities. TPSV calculations for Non-Newtonian fluids are
