Challenges of cuttings transport in micro–borehole coiled tubing drilling for mineral exploration
Coil tubing (CT) technology has been in use in the oil and gas industry since the 1990s. Since then, the applications of CT have expanded rapidly. Coiled tube drilling can offer more efficient and faster drilling operations resulting in lower operational costs. Micro–borehole CT drilling (CTD) has b...
