Which consequence results when drilling mud has excessive viscosity?

💡 Explanation

Reduced pump efficiency occurs under high mud viscosity because increased viscous drag requires greater energy input, hindering fluid movement governed by Poiseuille flow, therefore flow decreases, rather than improving wellbore stability or lubrication as lower viscosity would permit, which facilitates efficient cuttings removal.
