Rheological behavior of a bentonite mud

Predicting drilling fluids rheology is crucial to control/optimize the drilling process and the gas extraction from drilling fluids in logging systems. A Couette viscometer measured the apparent viscosity of a bentonite mud at various shear rates and temperatures. The bentonite mud behaved as a yiel...
