Abstract
Viscous carrier fluids prepared with hydroxyethylcellulose can control settling rate of gravels to reasonable limit to enable proper placeme nt of gravels in deep wells. Carrier fluids are pseudoplastic in natur e and follow power law. Settling rates are normally higher than those predicted by Stoke's law. Effective viscosity reduction at the bottom is possible by adding ammonium persulphate at surface itself.
