Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002153

An abbreviation for low gravity solids, which are fine, suspended particles in drilling fluid that have a specific gravity less than 2.6. These solids, such as clay and drilled cuttings, can increase mud viscosity and reduce drilling efficiency if not properly managed. Their concentration is typically monitored through retort analysis or mud balance measurements.
