Rheologic

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003154

Relating to the deformation and flow of matter, particularly non-Newtonian fluids and soft solids, under applied stress. In the oilfield, rheologic properties describe the behavior of drilling muds, cements, and reservoir fluids, defining how they respond to forces in the wellbore and formation. Key rheologic parameters for drilling fluids include plastic viscosity, yield point, and gel strength, which are measured with a viscometer.
