Abstract:
Transport of drilling cuttings at the bottom of the well has always been one of the common problems of oil and gas drilling, which causes stock pipe or reduce the penetration rate and other problem. For this reason, the design of drilling fluid is one of the important drilling problems to be considered in order to optimally transfer drilling cuttings to surface. So far, many papers have been devoted to optimizing the drilling fluid for the transport of cuttings, but these papers focus on the state of drilling fluid static and less to model the dynamics and to examine the interaction between the cuttings and drilling fluid. At this end this study will modeling the drilling fluid flow using the lattice Boltzmann method in dynamic mode and carrying drilling cuttings, will attempt to evaluate the effects of different properties of the fluid in the modeling and optimize cuttings transfer
