Additive crystalline salt amount to increase the density - Method I (single-salt systems)

Input(s)

$V_{i}$: Volume of Initial Brine Formulation (bbl)

$\rho_{i}$ : Density of Fluid $\left(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$

$C_{s f}$: Concentration of Salt in Final Formulation (\%)

$C_{s i}$: Concentration of Salt in Initial Formulation (\%)

$P_{s}$: Purity of Salt to be added (\%)

Output(s)

[^1]

Formula(s)

$$ m_{s}=\frac{V_{i}(42 \mathrm{gal} / \mathrm{bbl})\left(\rho_{i}\right)\left(C_{s f}-C_{s i}\right)}{P_{s}-m C_{s f}} $$
