ABSTRACT In the drilling process of large‐offset three‐dimensional (3D) horizontal wells, the issue of cuttings transport is a critical concern for wellbore cleanliness and downhole safety. Significant accumulation of cuttings can lead to various downhole accidents, such as excessive torque and drag...
