Abstract
Systems and methods for adjusting well operations utilize measured values and curve fitting to determine predicted values of the gel strength of well-treatment fluids. The systems and methods are exemplified by first measuring a plurality of measured values representative of the gel strength of the well-treatment fluid, then determining a mathematical function that fits the plurality of measured values. From the mathematical function, the projected values are determined. The projected values are representative of the gel strength for the well-treatment fluid after a projected-value static period.
