Overview

This integrated evaluation reveals how particle size distribution influences rheological behavior in drilling fluids, indicating improved viscosity control.

Key Points

  • Reducing the D50 of baryte and haematite resulted in approximately 50% increase in plastic viscosity and over 70% increase in yield point.
  • Advanced rheological models, specifically the Herschel–Bulkley and Cross models, yielded R2 values near 1.0, indicating high predictive accuracy.
  • Using complete mud formulations allowed for a broader assessment of the impact of various weighting materials on drilling fluid performance.
  • Finer particle sizes were better captured by advanced models, enhancing formulation strategies and prediction accuracy.
