1_MINUTE_GEL_STRENGTH Shear Stress required to break a gel fluid previously allowed to remain at rest for 1 minute.
1_MINUTE_GEL_TEST_DEFLECTION The maximum reading (deflection) taken from a direct-reading viscometer after the fluid has been quiescent for 1 minutes.
10_MINUTE_GEL_STRENGTH Shear Stress required to break a gel fluid previously allowed to remain at rest for 10 minutes.
10_MINUTE_GEL_TEST_DEFLECTION The maximum reading (deflection) taken from a direct-reading viscometer after the fluid has been quiescent for 10 minutes.
10_SECOND_GEL_STRENGTH Shear Stress required to break a gel fluid previously allowed to remain at rest for 10 seconds.
10_SECOND_GEL_TEST_DEFLECTION The maximum reading (deflection) taken from a direct-reading viscometer after the fluid has been quiescent for 10 seconds.
30_MINUTE_GEL_STRENGTH Shear Stress required to break a gel fluid previously allowed to remain at rest for 30 minutes.
30_MINUTE_GEL_TEST_DEFLECTION The maximum reading (deflection) taken from a direct-reading viscometer after the fluid has been quiescent for 30 minutes.
API_PLASTIC_VISCOSITY Measure of the internal resistance to fluid flow attributable to the amount, type, and size of solids present in a given fluid. When using the direct-indicating viscometer, it is found by subtracting the 300-rpm reading from the 600-rpm reading of a Fann35 rheometer.
API_YIELD_STRESS Resistance to initial flow; the stress required to start fluid movement. When using the direct-indicating viscometer, it is found by subtracting plastic viscosity (API_Plastic_Viscosity) from the 300-rpm reading of a Fann35 rheometer.
BHA_NUMBER Number assigned to a bottom hole assembly (BHA) at the wellsite
BHA_RUN_NUMBER Number assigned to a bottom hole assembly (BHA) when it is run into the hole
BIT_NUMBER Number assigned to a bit at the wellsite inventory
BIT_OPERATING_TIME Operating time of the bit over the reporting period.
BIT_RUN_NUMBER Number assigned to a bit when it is run into the hole
CASSON_PLASTIC_VISCOSITY Measure of the internal resistance to fluid flow attributable to the amount, type, and size of solids present in a given fluid. The Casson model equation is: SQRT(Shear_Stress) = SQRT(Yield_Stress) + SQRT(Plastic_Viscosity X Shear_Rate)
CASSON_YIELD_STRESS Resistance to initial flow; the stress required to start fluid movement. The Casson model equation is: SQRT(Shear_Stress) = SQRT(Yield_Stress) + SQRT(Plastic_Viscosity X Shear_Rate)
CIRCULATING_PRESSURE Fluid pressure under circulating conditions.
CIRCULATION_LOSS_DEPTH Depth at which circulation is being lost to the formation.
CIRCULATION_LOSS_RATE Rate of loss of drilling fluid to the formation, due to mud density exceeding formation fracture pressure gradient, and/or to drilling through a highly permeable formation.
ELECTRICAL_STABILITY Measure of the emulsion stability and oil-wetting capability in oil based drilling fluid muds.
FIT_EQUIVALENT_MUD_WEIGHT Equivalent mud weight determined by the formation integrity test (FIT) for a new formation below last casing shoe via increasing the pressure until a pre-determined value.
