Abstract
A variety of methods and apparatus are disclosed, including, in one embodiment, detecting a drilling event, involving flowing a drilling fluid from a wellbore being drilled through a separator, removing rock cuttings from the drilling fluid by the separator, discharging the drilling fluid from the separator without the rock cuttings removed to a mud pit, measuring a first viscosity of the drilling fluid upstream of the mud pit with a single point viscometer, measuring a second viscosity of the drilling fluid in the mud pit or downstream of the mud pit with a second viscometer that is not a single point viscometer, and detecting a drilling event associated with drilling of the wellbore by comparing the first viscosity with the second viscosity.
