Yield of clays as drilling fluids
Input(s)
\(M_{\text {clay }}\): Weight of Clay used per barrel of mud with \(15 \mathrm{cP}\) Apparent Viscosity (tonnes/bbl)
Output(s)
\(E_{\text {clay }}\): Efficiency of Selected Clay (bbl/tonnes)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{E}_{\text {clay }}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{M}_{\text {clay }}}
\]
