Analysis of Cuttings Transport in Small‐Bore Horizontal Wells Considering Drill String Eccentricity

ABSTRACT The narrow annulus in small‐bore horizontal wells causes marked differences in cuttings transport compared to conventional horizontal wells. To address this issue, a CFD‐based numerical model for solid‐liquid two‐phase flow in the annulus was developed, accounting for the eccentricity of th...
