Popis: | The paper presents the results of a numerical simulation of the process of cleaning the annulus of a horizontal well. The effect of the cuttings particle size on the efficiency of cuttings removal from the annulus of the well was studied. The geometry of a real well was used as the calculation model. Cutting particles with sizes from 2 to 5 mm were considered in the numerical study. Velocity profiles of the solid phase (cuttings particles) in annular channels were obtained in the course of conducted numerical simulation. |
