Numerical modeling and simulation of drilling cutting transport in horizontal wells

Abstract Cutting transport is an important goal in drilling operation especially in horizontal and deviated wells since it can cause problems such as stuck pipe, circulation loss and high torque and drag. To this end, this article focused on the affecting parameters on the cutting transport by compu...
