AV

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000222

An abbreviation for apparent viscosity, a rheological property of drilling fluids. It represents the resistance to flow under specific shear conditions and is calculated by dividing the shear stress by the shear rate. AV is typically measured in centipoise (cP) and is a key indicator of a fluid's ability to transport cuttings and maintain wellbore stability.
