In horizontal well operations, the prevalence of stuck pipe incidents is largely attributed to inadequate hole cleaning, underscoring the critical need for a thorough understanding of this process to mitigate non-productive time and financial losses. Increasing fluid velocity, the major drilling parameter of hole cleaning, diminishes the formation of cuttings beds in a wellbore. This study primarily centered on the mechanical displacement and removal of solid particles, employing advanced image processing techniques to elucidate the dynamic behavior of solid particles in deviated wellbores. The core objective of this study was to experimentally scrutinize the effects of a downhole clamp-on tool on fluid velocity to improve hole cleaning practices. To address this challenge, a customized flow loop was designed and constructed to accurately replicate the conditions encountered in horizontal wells. Pure water was used to demonstrate the effects of the clamp-on tool on cuttings transport for lightweight drilling fluid conditions. Strategically deployed, the clamp-on tool played a pivotal role in agitating cuttings, mitigating their accumulation at the bottom of the borehole. The tool's agitation mechanism noticeably improved cuttings removal by increasing velocity, extending the perturbation of cuttings transport in the tool's downstream flow, and reducing bedding formation. At lower flow rates, the tool led to an over fourfold increase in average particle velocity within the tool and a twofold increase after the tool. Our results demonstrate the substantial potential of mechanical assistance to address hole cleaning challenges and significantly advance horizontal well operations.
