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)

$$ \mathrm{E}_{\text {clay }}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{M}_{\text {clay }}} $$
