Buoyancy Factor (BF) is the factor that is used to compensate loss of weight due to immersion in drilling fluid. In drilling the Buoyancy factor is calculated by subtracting the mud-weight from the given constant divided by the constant. Buoyancy makes objects lighter in a fluid.
In simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g.
