In order to achieve the optimum performance of any mud during drilling operations, the physical as well as the chemical properties of the mud must be carefully controlled by adding sufficient quantity of additives. Viscosity, gel-strengths (initial and 10 min), and fluid loss are of particular consideration while designing a drilling fluid. This article deals with studies on effect of additives and aging on behavior of the rheological properties of the bentonite clay of the Bhavnagar area of Gujrat.
