Drilling fluid properties – density and rheology (plastic viscosity, yield point, gel strength) – are essential for wellbore stability, pressure control, hole cleaning, and minimizing non-productive time (NPT) in oil and gas drilling. Traditional manual methods (pressurized mud balance, Fann 35 viscometer) are periodic, labor-intensive, and delay corrections, increasing risks of kicks, lost circulation, and instability. This study proposes an intelligent automated system for real-time monitoring and control us...
