Investigation: Cutting Transport Mechanism in Inclined Well Section under Pulsed Drilling Fluid Action
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...
