During drilling operations, measurements of drilling fluid/mud viscosity and density provide
key information to ensure safe operations (eg, maintain wellbore integrity) and improve the …

Current mud monitoring practices are limited due to their reliance on manual measurements
such as funnel viscometers, weight balances, or basic field rheometers. These manual …

Maintaining the viscosity and density of drilling fluids within their optimal performance
margins is of utmost importance in running a safe and efficient operation when drilling oil …

Maintaining the viscosity and density of drilling fluids within their optimal performance
margins is of utmost importance in running a safe and efficient operation when drilling oil …

Drilling fluids are an integral part of drilling wells for oil and gas production. They carry
cuttings from the bit to the surface, prevent collapse of the wellbore, and balance formation …

Abstract Knowledge of formation fluid viscosity and its vertical and lateral variations are
important for reservoir management and determining field commerciality. Productivity and …

Measuring rheological properties of drilling fluids for optimum maintenance and wellbore
hydraulic management is one the most important tasks during any drilling operation. In …

This paper describes a novel density and viscosity sensor that measures properties of
formation fluids with high accuracy and resolution. Dynamic viscosity (eta) in combination …

This paper presents a novel approach of continuously measuring drilling fluid rheology and
density by use of sound signals. A unique apparatus is built with a series of pipe sections …

Frequent, reliable, and repeatable measurements are key to the evolution of digitization of
drilling information and drilling automation. While advances have been made in automating …
