Dead Oil Viscosity(μo,d)
Dynamic or absolute viscosity is defined as resistance to flow exerted by a fluid. It is a measure of the magnitude of internal friction between fluid layers as they move relative to each other.
High viscosity is usually associated with low GOR oils; lower viscosity is usually seen with high GOR oils.
