| Summary: | Title screen The main challenge in deviated and horizontal well drilling is hole cleaning, which involves the removal of drill cuttings and maintaining a clean borehole. Insufficient hole cleaning can lead to issues such as stuck pipe incidents, lost circulation, slow rate of penetration (ROP), difficult tripping operations, poor cementing, and formation damage. Insufficient advancements in real-time drilling evaluation for complex wells can also lead to drilling troubles and an increase in drilling costs. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a model for the hole-cleaning index (HCI) that could be integrated into drilling operations to provide an automated and real-time evaluation of deviated- and horizontal-drilling hole cleaning based on hydraulic and mechanical drilling parameters and drilling fluid rheological properties. This HCI model was validated and tested in the field in 3 wells, as it was applied when drilling 12.25″ intermediate directional sections and an 8.5″ liner directional section. The integration of the HCI in Well-A and Well-B helped achieve much better well drilling performance (50% ROP enhancement) and mitigate potential problems such as pipe sticking due to hole cleaning and the slower rate of penetration. Moreover, the HCI model was also able to identify hole-cleaning efficiency during a stuck pipe issue in Well-C, which highlights its potential usage as a real-time model for optimizing drilling performance and demonstrates its versatility Текстовый файл |
