Experimental investigation of cuttings lifting efficiency using low and high density polyethylene beads in different hole angles

This study investigates the impact of low and high density polyethylene beads on wellbore cleaning using water-based mud at different hole angles of 0°, 60°, and 90°. The polyethylene beads concertation is varied from 1 to 5% by volume. Experimental investigations were accomplished using 11ft long a...
