This paper presents a concise investigation of viscoplastic behavior of a novel lightweight biopolymer drilling fluid. Eight different rheological models namely the Bingham plastic model, Ostwald–De–Weale model, Herschel–Bulkley model, Casson model, Sisko model, Robertson–Stiff model, Heinz–Casson m...
