Trican Well Service Ltd. has approached SAIT Applied Research and Innovation Services (ARIS) for technical assistance to investigate the viscoelastic properties of magnetorheological (MR) fluids whose viscosity and stiffness can be controlled by magnetic fields. Although MR fluids have been used in the manufacturing of automotive products, medical supplies and optical components, their application in the oil and gas industry has not seen significant progress. The proposed preliminary investigation will explore the feasibility of using MR fluids in oil well operations to improve zonal isolation and well pressure control. The project will deliver useful results to further the development of MR fluid technology by Trican, leading to commercialization.

Trican Well Service Ltd.已与SAIT应用研究和创新服务公司（阿里斯）联系，寻求技术援助，以研究磁流变（MR）流体的粘弹性，其粘度和刚度可通过磁场控制。尽管磁流变液已被用于汽车产品、医疗用品和光学元件的制造，但其在石油和天然气行业的应用尚未取得重大进展。拟议的初步调查将探讨在油井作业中使用磁流变液的可行性，以改善层间隔离和井压控制。该项目将提供有用的结果，以进一步发展磁流变液技术的Trican，导致商业化。
