Numerical Simulation of Hole Cleaning of a Horizontal Wellbore Model with Breakout Enlargement Section

Horizontal wells are more likely than vertical wells to have enlarged wellbore sections due to borehole instability. However, there is scarce research on borehole cleaning of horizontal wells with enlarged wellbore sections. In this paper, we establish a horizontal wellbore model with a breakout enl...
