Radioisotopic method development for express determination of working mixtures proppant concentration used with the hydraulic break of gas and oil production beds

This paper describes the RIPC-01 radioisotopic meter for the determination of the working mixture proppant concentration used in the hydraulic break to increase oil and gas bore output. The method involves simultaneously measuring the helium density at the input into the unit for the working mixture preparation and the working mixture at the output from the unit for the working mixture preparation. This ensures that the error of proppant concentration determination is not more than mnplus3.1% with time registration of 15 seconds.
