Modelling and optimization of well hole cleaning using artificial intelligence techniques by Nageswara Rao Lakkimsetty, Hassan Rashid Ali Al Araimi, G. Kavitha

“…Abstract Ineffective hole cleaning in deviated and horizontal well drilling can lead to issues like stuck pipes, reduced rate of penetration (ROP), and drill bit damage, resulting in increased non-productive time (NPT) and operational costs. Traditional methods for assessing hole cleaning rely on experimental and empirical models that often fail to account for all influencing factors and lack real-time applicability. …”
