A number of calculator programs have been made available by the major drilling-fluid companies for use in drilling fluid rheological analysis. These programs have typically inputed shear stress data from two fixed shear rates and calculated Bingham and power-law parameters, plastic viscosity (/eta/ /SUB pl/ ), yield point (sigma /SUB y/ ) powerlaw index (n), and consistency coefficient (k). With the recent advent of powerful inexpensive computers, more-sophisticated programs can be developed for the rheological modeling of drilling fluids. This article discusses the considerations in developing such programs with particular reference to drilling fluids and the conventional oil-field viscometer. Typical output from such a program is shown as well.
