Abstract
The aim of this paper is to derive a mathematical model for cuttings transport in horizontal wellbores using the volume averaging method, which is a technique used to derive transport equations for multiphase systems and one of the main approaches in two-phase flow modeling. The theoretical derivation of the cuttings transport problem is for a two-region system composed of a fluid bed and a stationary bed of drill cuttings, which is considered as a porous medium. A one-equation model for fluid bed was derived and was used to obtain the multi-region model. This model can be used to study the hydraulic transport of solid particles in horizontal wellbores.
