Abstract

Low migration efficiency of cuttings in large-diameter horizontal directional drill can easily cause various kinds of in-hole accidents. Drill pipe motion affects the distribution of the annular mud flow field, which indirectly affects the migration efficiency of cuttings, so it is very important to find out the effect of drill pipe motion on the annular mud flow field to solve the cuttings transportation problem. In this paper, the important parameters of drill pipe motion are modeled and studied, and the influence of drill pipe motion on the distribution of annular mud flow field is investigated by numerical simulation method. Drill pipe rotation speed and eccentricity are important parameters of drill pipe motion, and the numerical simulation results show that increasing the drill pipe rotation speed can increase the mud flow rate within a certain range, and the maximum axial flow rate of annular mud increases with the increase of the eccentricity of the drill pipe, but the range of the influence of the rotation of the drill pipe on the annular mud flow field gradually decreases. This paper reveals the influence of drill pipe motion on the distribution characteristics of the annulus mud flow field, which can provide a theoretical basis for research on cuttings transportation problems.
