Prophecy of Cutting Transport Ratio through a Relationship between Equivalent Circulating Density and Drilled Solid Concentration
This manuscript aimed to propose a new approach in estimating the cutting transport ratio through a relationship between equivalent circulating density (ECD) and drilled solid concentration from different formations in a nearly vertical well. A laboratory test utilising drilled cuttings from North K...
