...-angle and horizontal sections. These include flowrate, rheology, and density of the drilling fluid, drill string eccentricity, pipe rotation, and cuttings size. It has been recognized that the action of most of these parameters to transport drilled cuttings is constantly a point of controversy among...

...Erman Ulker; Mehmet Sorgun; Ismail Solmus; Ziya Haktan Karadeniz In this work, the effect of temperature on the pressure loss for Newtonian fluid in fully eccentric annulus with pipe rotation is investigated. Extensive experiments with water are conducted at Izmir Katip Celebi University (IKCU...

... 11 02 2013 In this study, simple empirical frictional pressure losses and cuttings bed thickness correlations including pipe rotation are developed for solid-liquid flow in horizontal and deviated wellbores. Pipe rotation effects on cuttings transport in horizontal and highly inclined wells...
