Discrete Phase Simulations of Drilled Cuttings Transport Process in Highly Deviated Wells
Transporting drilled cuttings from the bottomhole to the surface becomes more difficult and problematic in highly deviated wells than in vertical wells. Cuttings tend to settle down on the low side of the annulus typically in the form of a bed which can cause further problems. The height of this bed...
