This invention belongs to the field of mechanical technology for
drilling engineering circulation systems, specifically relating to a device and method for measuring the distribution of cuttings within a
wellbore. The invention includes a
hose support, a simulated
wellbore unit, an inclination adjustment device, a
drilling fluid tank, a power circulation mechanism, a stirring motor, and a control terminal. By calibrating the device for measuring the distribution of cuttings within the
wellbore, this invention verifies the consistency and
repeatability of its channels, ensuring the accuracy of
system data acquisition. The device in this invention is a
closed system, producing no
pollution and no harmful emissions. This invention automatically measures the distribution and movement of cuttings in the annular space under conditions where visible light cannot penetrate, and can simultaneously measure the cuttings removal rate and the
impact force of fluid flow on the wellbore. This invention can clearly define the distribution and flow state of cuttings in the annular space, allowing for adjustments to the
drilling fluid formulation and performance, improving the efficiency of cuttings removal within the wellbore, and reducing
drilling fluid costs.
