Abstract:
Due to gravity, drilling cuttings are easily accumulated in an inclined well section, ultimately forming a cuttings bed, which places the drill pipe under strong friction torque. In severe cases, this can cause dragging, stuck drills, and broken drill tools. Because conventional drilling fluids are difficult to prevent the formation of cuttings in inclined well sections, a method of carrying cuttings with the pulsed drilling fluid to improve wellbore cleanness is proposed. Experiments and numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the effects of cuttings bed transport velocity, cutting

Abstract:
The hydraulic structure of conventional geophysical drill bit is designed for the general stratum. When conventional geophysical drill bit pierces into a limestone stratum, the shape of cuttings is large because of the high brittleness of limestone. The cuttings are ground repeatedly; this phenomenon can reduce drilling efficiency and increase drilling costs. According to the characteristics of limestone cuttings, the numerical simulation method is used to research downhole flow field characteristics of conventional geophysical drill bit.

Drill cuttings are readily available for all wells we drill. Geochemical analysis has been employed to estimate key oil properties, such as American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity and viscosity.

Abstract:
The current study is devoted to simulating cuttings transport by drilling fluid through a horizontal section of borehole with an annular cross section. Drill pipe rotates in fixed eccentric position. Steady-state flow is considered. Cuttings are rigid spheres with equal diameters. The carrying fluid is drilling mud with Herschel-Bulkley rheology. Suspension rheology depends on local shear rate and particles concentration. Continuous mixture model with algebraic equation for particles slipping velocity is used. Two hydrodynamic regimes are considered: axial flow without drill pipe rotation and

To solve the problems that the borehole depth is shallow and the drilling efficiency is low during the gas drainage drilling in soft coal seam with current cuttings removal method, a new technology of reverse circulation pneumatic cuttings removal is proposed. The working principle of reverse circulation pneumatic cuttings removal is analyzed, and the kinetic equation of cuttings in the inner hole of the drill pipe is established. Through experiments, the pressure drop in the drill pipe is measured to reveal the effects of air velocity, cuttings mass flow rate, and cuttings particle size on th

A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study was carried out for drilling fluid flow with drill cuttings in open channels. The flow is similar to the return flow when drilling, stream containing drilling fluid, and drill cuttings. The computational model is under the framework of the Eulerian multifluid volume of the fluid model. The Herschel–Bulkley rheological model was used to describe the non-Newtonian rheology of the drilling fluid, and the computational model was validated with experimental results for two-phase flow in the literature.

This paper addresses the issue of wellbore cleaning during horizontal well drilling. A dynamic evaluation and assessment system for wellbore cleaning in horizontal wells has been developed using numerical simulation and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). First, numerical simulations were conducted using Fluent software to analyze the factors influencing the movement of rock cuttings in horizontal wells, such as drill string rotational speed, annular return velocity, drilling fluid properties, drill string eccentricity, and wellbore inclination angle.

Cuttings beds in horizontal wells significantly affect the frictional torque and drag along the drill string; however, their quantification and modeling have been relatively underexplored. To gain deeper insights into the impact mechanisms of the cuttings bed distribution on drilling mechanics, this study establishes a model linking the cuttings bed height with variations in axial and tangential forces on the drill string through experimental investigations. By integrating this model with previously developed transient cuttings transport and torque–drag models, a coupled transient hole cleanin

This paper presents the potential of composting oil wet drill cuttings as a drilling waste disposal option. The potential is substantiated by results from several laboratory and field experiments. Artificially oil wetted drill cuttings were prepared by adding commonly used base oils from Norwegian offshore operations to a representative clay. Degradation of the hydrocarbon components in the oily wet cuttings by vermicomposting was successfully accomplished. The composts were beneficially used as part of growing media for landscape plants; ryegrass, coniferous, and deciduous trees, and the fert

Moreover, these overlaying cutting beds breed destruction in the drilling operation, some of which cause stuck pipes, reducing the rate of rotation and penetration.

Abstract:
In the drilling process of horizontal and highly deviated well sections, cuttings are deposited on the lower side of annulus under the action of gravity during its transport, which affects the normal drilling operation. A variety of cuttings removal tools have emerged and achieved good results, but they are only effective when the drill string is rotating, while it is difficult to ensure the removal effect of cuttings in sliding drilling. In the drilling process of directional well and horizontal well, rotary drilling is sometimes difficult to meet the requirements of wellbore control, and sli
