    Abstract
  • With the increasing number of inclined wells and horizontal wells, the hole cleaning has become one of the key technologies and difficulties in oil drilling. In the past 60 years, a lot of experiments and theoretical studies have been done on cuttings transport in drilling process, and more knowledge has been gained on this subject. Some models have been established, which provides an effective basis for the design of hydraulic parameters in actual drilling process. In this paper, the empirical models and layer theoretical models describing the cuttings transport rule are systematically summarized, and the models for cuttings transport with foam are summarized. On the basis of this, the development trend of the model is prospected. Finally, the research proposals are given, which will provide references for further research on cuttings transport in the future.
