Experimental Study of Cuttings Transport in Coiled Tube Micro-Borehole Drilling

This research presented an experimental study of the cuttings transport in vertical micro boreholes. The cuttings settling and transport velocities were obtained under various conditions of cuttings (size, concentration) and fluid properties (flow rate, rheology) and annulus geometry. The results sh...
