Maximizing Hole Cleaning When DrillingERD Deviated and Horizontal Wells
Hole Cleaning Solutions for Drill StringsHydroclean®
Extended Reach Deviated and Horizontal Wells
Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) wells are commonly defined by the envelope of well profiles where the ratios of lateral displacements over true vertical depths are greater than two. These wells commonly intersect multiple subsurface reservoir targets and have complex trajectory configurations, high build rates (above 6°/100ft or 30 meters) and high inclinations (>45°) including an extended horizontal section.
Operational Challenges
While hole-cleaning is commonly understood and a well-known phenomenon associated with drilling deviated and horizontal wells, many drillers still have difficulty managing the entire process. Experience reveals that less than optimal hole-cleaning can lead to performance inefficiencies impacting non-productive time, borehole quality or even to the loss of the drill string and well. The paradox with maintaining cuttings in the hole to acceptable levels is that buildups will go unnoticed until symptoms from the well signal a growing problem.
Unfortunately, hole-cleaning after drillingcan be time consuming.Main hole-cleaning challenges include: managing fracture gradients minimizing equivalent circulatingdensity (ECD) reducing torque and drag mitigating tight-hole & stuck pipe increasing wellbore stability avoiding hydraulic fracturing maximizing drill time & average ROP trouble-free casing runs
The Solutions:Hydroclean® - Hydroclean® Max™ - Hydroclean® SubEach Hydroclean® product is designed for specific applications featuring a bladed scallop design to mechanically erode stagnating cutting beds and to increase cuttings transport to the surface while drilling. Performance depends on several factors including optimal placement in the drill string.The results are faster and safer drilling with less time spent on cleanups.

Product Performance
Hydroclean®
Hydroclean® is a hydro-mechanical hole-cleaning tool designed to remove stagnating cutting beds while drilling large holes in highly deviated wells, thereby increasing hole-cleaning efficiency and drilling performance. Operations data indicate that holes with inclinations between 40-75 degrees are the most difficult to clean. This product is field proven and is predominantly used to drill complex wells offshore. Hydroclean® has two design configurations including drill pipe (HDP) and heavy weight drill pipe (HHW). Both are manu-factured in lengths of R2 and R3, feature a dual OD tool joint and bladed upsets machined onto the pipe body. Hole-clea-ning is achieved via three hydro-mechanical effects combining scooping of cutting beds, maintaining continuous flow of cuttings above the drill string in the high velocity annular space, and sustaining the conveyor belt effect for transport to the surface. Sufficient joints need to be used and spaced throughout the drill string.
Hydroclean® Max™
Hydroclean® Max™ is a new generation drill pipe designed to increase hole-cleaning efficiencies in horizontal and ERD wells. This pipe uniquely addresses annular pressure and ECD issues resulting from stationary cutting beds deposited along the wellbore. No other drill pipe can provide these benefits, without compromise or performance loss.The Hydroclean® Max™ comes standard in R2 and R3 lengths with VAM® proprietary connections. It is economically justifiable for land drilling, including shale plays, and applicable offshore.
The Hydroclean® Max™ drill pipe (HMax DP) and Hydroclean® Max™ heavy weight (HMax HW) feature specially designed scallops in each tool joint producing a number of hydro-mechanical effects that remove residual cutting beds and maintain continuous transport of cuttings to the surface.
Hydroclean® SubHydroclean® Sub is an accessory designed to increase hole-cleaning performance in high angle and horizontal wells. It is primarily used in land operations.
Hydroclean® Sub features specially designed scallops machined on the body upset with a dual OD.The sub produces a combination of hydro-mechanical effects to remove residual cutting beds and to main-tain continuous transport of cuttings to the surface. Sufficient subs are needed and must be spaced appro-priately throughout the drill string.
The dual OD provides: blade protection from the borehole increased pipe offset in the wellbore lower friction
Placement recommendations can be provided by Vallourec following review of the well plan, drill string design and drilling parameters.

Product Performance
Hydroclean®
Hydroclean® is a hydro-mechanical hole-cleaning tool designed to remove stagnating cutting beds while drilling large holes in highly deviated wells, thereby increasing hole-cleaning efficiency and drilling performance. Operations data indicate that holes with inclinations between 40-75 degrees are the most difficult to clean. This product is field proven and is predominantly used to drill complex wells offshore. Hydroclean® has two design configurations including drill pipe (HDP) and heavy weight drill pipe (HHW). Both are manu-factured in lengths of R2 and R3, feature a dual OD tool joint and bladed upsets machined onto the pipe body. Hole-clea-ning is achieved via three hydro-mechanical effects combining scooping of cutting beds, maintaining continuous flow of cuttings above the drill string in the high velocity annular space, and sustaining the conveyor belt effect for transport to the surface. Sufficient joints need to be used and spaced throughout the drill string.
Hydroclean® Max™
Hydroclean® Max™ is a new generation drill pipe designed to increase hole-cleaning efficiencies in horizontal and ERD wells. This pipe uniquely addresses annular pressure and ECD issues resulting from stationary cutting beds deposited along the wellbore. No other drill pipe can provide these benefits, without compromise or performance loss.The Hydroclean® Max™ comes standard in R2 and R3 lengths with VAM® proprietary connections. It is economically justifiable for land drilling, including shale plays, and applicable offshore.
The Hydroclean® Max™ drill pipe (HMax DP) and Hydroclean® Max™ heavy weight (HMax HW) feature specially designed scallops in each tool joint producing a number of hydro-mechanical effects that remove residual cutting beds and maintain continuous transport of cuttings to the surface.
Hydroclean® SubHydroclean® Sub is an accessory designed to increase hole-cleaning performance in high angle and horizontal wells. It is primarily used in land operations.
Hydroclean® Sub features specially designed scallops machined on the body upset with a dual OD.The sub produces a combination of hydro-mechanical effects to remove residual cutting beds and to main-tain continuous transport of cuttings to the surface. Sufficient subs are needed and must be spaced appro-priately throughout the drill string.
The dual OD provides: blade protection from the borehole increased pipe offset in the wellbore lower friction
Placement recommendations can be provided by Vallourec following review of the well plan, drill string design and drilling parameters.

Maximizing Hole Cleaning When DrillingERD Deviated and Horizontal Wells
Hole Cleaning Solutions for Drill StringsHydroclean®
Extended Reach Deviated and Horizontal Wells
Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) wells are commonly defined by the envelope of well profiles where the ratios of lateral displacements over true vertical depths are greater than two. These wells commonly intersect multiple subsurface reservoir targets and have complex trajectory configurations, high build rates (above 6°/100ft or 30 meters) and high inclinations (>45°) including an extended horizontal section.
Operational Challenges
While hole-cleaning is commonly understood and a well-known phenomenon associated with drilling deviated and horizontal wells, many drillers still have difficulty managing the entire process. Experience reveals that less than optimal hole-cleaning can lead to performance inefficiencies impacting non-productive time, borehole quality or even to the loss of the drill string and well. The paradox with maintaining cuttings in the hole to acceptable levels is that buildups will go unnoticed until symptoms from the well signal a growing problem.
Unfortunately, hole-cleaning after drillingcan be time consuming.Main hole-cleaning challenges include: managing fracture gradients minimizing equivalent circulatingdensity (ECD) reducing torque and drag mitigating tight-hole & stuck pipe increasing wellbore stability avoiding hydraulic fracturing maximizing drill time & average ROP trouble-free casing runs
The Solutions:Hydroclean® - Hydroclean® Max™ - Hydroclean® SubEach Hydroclean® product is designed for specific applications featuring a bladed scallop design to mechanically erode stagnating cutting beds and to increase cuttings transport to the surface while drilling. Performance depends on several factors including optimal placement in the drill string.The results are faster and safer drilling with less time spent on cleanups.

Maximizing Hole Cleaning When DrillingERD Deviated and Horizontal Wells
Hole Cleaning Solutions for Drill StringsHydroclean®
Extended Reach Deviated and Horizontal Wells
Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) wells are commonly defined by the envelope of well profiles where the ratios of lateral displacements over true vertical depths are greater than two. These wells commonly intersect multiple subsurface reservoir targets and have complex trajectory configurations, high build rates (above 6°/100ft or 30 meters) and high inclinations (>45°) including an extended horizontal section.
Operational Challenges
While hole-cleaning is commonly understood and a well-known phenomenon associated with drilling deviated and horizontal wells, many drillers still have difficulty managing the entire process. Experience reveals that less than optimal hole-cleaning can lead to performance inefficiencies impacting non-productive time, borehole quality or even to the loss of the drill string and well. The paradox with maintaining cuttings in the hole to acceptable levels is that buildups will go unnoticed until symptoms from the well signal a growing problem.
Unfortunately, hole-cleaning after drillingcan be time consuming.Main hole-cleaning challenges include: managing fracture gradients minimizing equivalent circulatingdensity (ECD) reducing torque and drag mitigating tight-hole & stuck pipe increasing wellbore stability avoiding hydraulic fracturing maximizing drill time & average ROP trouble-free casing runs
The Solutions:Hydroclean® - Hydroclean® Max™ - Hydroclean® SubEach Hydroclean® product is designed for specific applications featuring a bladed scallop design to mechanically erode stagnating cutting beds and to increase cuttings transport to the surface while drilling. Performance depends on several factors including optimal placement in the drill string.The results are faster and safer drilling with less time spent on cleanups.
