Abstract

Inadequate borehole cleaning is the primary cause of over 60% of downhole accidents in extended-reach wells. Since the 1970s, researchers have been committed to experimental and theoretical studies on cuttings transport in extended-reach wellbores, aiming to provide reliable experimental data and theoretical frameworks for the accurate prediction and diagnosis of borehole cleaning conditions. This paper systematically reviews the advancements in cuttings transport research, focusing on experimental setups, key influencing factors, and borehole cleaning evaluation methods. Despite extensive studies, existing experimental flow loops have limitations in replicating field conditions, and traditional predictive models struggle to capture the nonlinear interactions between drilling parameters. The review highlights the need for large-scale experimental systems (311 mm diameter) to improve measurement accuracy and visualization of cuttings transport. Additionally, artificial neural networks offer a promising approach to enhance prediction accuracy by addressing the complex relationships between engineering factors and borehole cleaning efficiency. These insights provide a foundation for optimizing drilling operations and improving wellbore stability in extended-reach wells.

岩屑运移测量的最新进展
在大位移井中,超过60%的井下事故是由于井筒清洗不当造成的。自20世纪70年代以来,研究人员一直致力于大位移井岩屑运移的实验和理论研究,旨在为井眼清洁状况的准确预测和诊断提供可靠的实验数据和理论框架。本文系统综述了岩屑输运的研究进展,重点介绍了岩屑输运的实验设置、关键影响因素和井眼清洁评价方法。尽管进行了广泛的研究,但现有的实验流环在复制现场条件方面存在局限性,传统的预测模型难以捕捉钻井参数之间的非线性相互作用。该综述强调需要大型实验系统(311 mm直径)来提高测量精度和岩屑输送的可视化。此外,人工神经网络通过解决工程因素与井眼清洁效率之间的复杂关系,为提高预测精度提供了一种很有前途的方法。这些见解为优化钻井作业和提高大位移井的井眼稳定性提供了基础。

期刊介绍: Energy Science & Engineering is a peer reviewed, open access journal dedicated to fundamental and applied research on energy and supply and use. Published as a co-operative venture of Wiley and SCI (Society of Chemical Industry), the journal offers authors a fast route to publication and the ability to share their research with the widest possible audience of scientists, professionals and other interested people across the globe. Securing an affordable and low carbon energy supply is a critical challenge of the 21st century and the solutions will require collaboration between scientists and engineers worldwide. This new journal aims to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in energy research and development. Due to the importance of this topic to society and economic development the journal will give priority to quality research papers that are accessible to a broad readership and discuss sustainable, state-of-the art approaches to shaping the future of energy. This multidisciplinary journal will appeal to all researchers and professionals working in any area of energy in academia, industry or government, including scientists, engineers, consultants, policy-makers, government officials, economists and corporate organisations.
