Evaluation of carry-out cuttings volume decrease as a result of well drilling with special bottom hole assembly unite

Abstract

This paper describes the opportunity of drill-out cuttings volume decreasing. There are the big amounts of polluted cuttings at the rig-sites and landfills may be sources of ecological problem. Special bottom hole assembly unite permits using part of cuttings in drilling process. Simple mathematical approach was developed for process efficiency evaluation. This formula may be used in cuttings management calculations
