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 13503-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures
for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 3, Drilling and completion fluids,
and well cements.
ISO 13503 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum and natural gas industries —
Completion fluids and materials:
⎯ Part 1: Measurement of viscous properties of completion fluids
⎯ Part 2: Measurement of properties of proppants used in hydraulic fracturing and gravel-packing
operations
⎯ Part 3: Testing of heavy brines
⎯ Part 4: Procedure for measuring stimulation and gravel-pack fluid leakoff under static conditions
⎯ Part 5: Procedures for measuring the long-term conductivity of proppants

Introduction
The objective of this part of ISO 13503 is to provide a standard procedure for measuring fluid loss under static
conditions. This standard procedure was compiled on the basis of several years of comparative testing,
1)
debate, discussion and continued research by the industry .
In this part of ISO 13503, where practical, US Customary (USC) units are included in parentheses for
information.

Part 4:
Procedure for measuring stimulation and gravel-pack fluid
leakoff under static conditions
1 Scope
This part of ISO 13503 provides for consistent methodology to measure fluid loss of stimulation and
gravel-pack fluid under static conditions. However, the procedure in this part of ISO 13503 excludes fluids that
react with porous media.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
base fluid
solution media used to prepare completion fluid
2.2
filtrate
fluid that permeates into the porous medium
2.3
filter cake
build-up of materials on the face or within the matrix of porous medium due to fluid leakoff
2.4
fluid loss
fluid loss is a measure of fluid volume that leaks into a porous medium over time
2.5
gravel-pack fluids
fluids used to place filtration media to control formation sand production from oil and gas wells
2.6
leakoff
entry of fluid into a porous media
2.7
pH
negative of the logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration
2.8
spurt time
time between the initial entry of fluid into porous medium and the onset of square-root-of-time leakoff
behaviour

2.9
shut-in time
time from loading the cell to the initiation of leakoff test
2.10
spurt loss
theoretical loss of fluid/filtrate at first exposure of that fluid into a porous medium
2.11
stimulation fluids
fluids used to enhance production from oil and gas wells by fracturing or acidizing
2.12
viscosity-controlled fluid-loss coefficient
measure of the leakoff rate controlled by the viscosity of filtrate
2.13
viscosity of fluid
measure of the internal friction of a fluid whenever it is caused to move by an external force
2.14
wall-building coefficient
measure of the leakoff rate due to filter cake formation
3 Measurement and precision
Temperature shall be measured to a precision of ± 1 °C (± 2 °F). All other quantitative measurements shall be
made to a precision of ± 2 %, unless specified otherwise.
4 Fluid preparation
Certain aspects of sample preparation and handling can affect properties of a fluid. During all procedures,
steps shall be taken to minimize air entrainment into the fluid.
The procedure used to prepare the fluid sample shall be documented as follows:
a) description and/or composition of the base fluid;
b) base fluid pre-treatment such as filtration;
c) preparation of the fluid, which shall be described, starting with the base fluid, such as deionized water, tap
water source, seawater (location) or type of organic fluids;
d) identification of mixing apparatus, container volume and total volume of fluid prepared;
e) time of mixing [should include mixing time(s) at one or more mixer speed(s)];
