There is no record yet of any well drilled without the use of drilling mud. Little wonder it is regarded by the drilling community as the lifeline of the borehole drilling proc… See more

2.1. Viscosity
Viscosity is described as a measure of the resistance of a fluid to the forces of deformation (Balhoff et al., 2011). Viscosity can be exp… See more

A summary of existing models for predicting apparent and plastic viscosity is presented in Table 3. … See more

According to Baroid (2001), shear rate is defined as the quotient of the change in mud velocity and the width of the channel (bit nozzle, wellbore annulus, drillpipe) through whi… See more

An amalgam of sensors and AI tools can provide efficient solutions for estimating mud rheological properties. These AI tools include algorithms such as ANN, support vector mac… See more
