Problem StatementWhen an oil well is being drilled, rock cuttings are transported up to the
surface by a flow of viscous non-Newtonian fluid. Current mathematical
models of the flow and transport neglect the effects of drillstring rotation.
Schlumberger wish to have a model that includes these effects. The Study
Group identified many of the ingredients that need to go into building such
a model. Archive Staff Only: edit this record
