Numerical validation of a novel cuttings bed impeller for extended reach horizontal wells

To reduce the risk of downhole accidents resulting from poor wellbore cleaning during the drilling of extended reach horizontal wells, a new cuttings bed impeller is developed. The performance of existing cuttings bed impellers on wellbore cleaning efficiency is analyzed by multiphase numerical simu...
