Abstract:

Cuttings transport of drilling and washing process in horizontal well is a typical two-phase (liquid-solid) or three-phase (gas-liquid-solid) flow phenomena. In this paper, it analyzes the flow characteristics of Huan 127-Lian H2 horizontal wellbore , then uses experimental method to study the behavior of the particle size distribution and the mechanics. This study provides an important way to master cuttings settling in fluid medium, it can explain how the cuttings bed is generated and cleared, and why the procession of cuttings of migration is stopped. In addition, measurement and analysis of drill cuttings is the basis erosion and abrasion analysis of BHA.
