Examples of such devices include shallow nuclear density measurement, ultrasonic measurement, low-frequency pulse echo, acoustic attenuation measurement, pressure transducer array, and mechanical detection. Specific examples of cuttings bed detectors will be described later.
  • system 10 includes cuttings bed detector 30 located in or mounted on drillstring 14, e.g., mounted on a sub. As shown in FIG. 1, detector 30 is positioned at a location that is relatively far from the drill bit 28. A cuttings bed detector 30 may be positioned near the top of the BHA 26, or it may be positioned in the drill string above the BHA 26. For example, cuttings bed detector 30 may be positioned above bottomhole assembly 26 or where there is a substantial change in the diameter of bottomhole assembly 26. Detector 30 detects or locates cuttings bed 24.

  • cuttings bed remover 40 includes retractable impellors 41.
  • Retractable impellors 41 may include vanes that are pushed out from the tool body into the annulus to move the cuttings.
  • Remover 40 may include an electrical actuator that is initially configured so that the differential pressure between the interior and exterior of remover 40 keeps the vanes retracted. Motivating the actuator flips the differential pressure to move the vanes outside of remover 40.
  • drillstring 14 includes fixed impellors 43 distributed along the length of drill string 14 or at changes in the drillstring diameter, e.g., above the collars.
  • cuttings bed remover 40 may disperse cuttings bed 24 using fluid jetting.
  • Drillstring 14 may include one or more valves 45. When positioned in the region of cuttings bed 24, valve 45 may be opened to release fluid to disturb the cuttings. Typically, this action would be combined with increasing the total mud flow rate so that the flow through bit 28 remains constant.
  • the fluid flow may be pulsed and oriented, e.g., circumferentially to move cuttings at the bottom side of the hole, or upwards to move the cuttings up the hole.
  • remover 40 may include a fluid by-pass valve to allow the system pressure drop to be maintained while increasing the carrying capacity of the annular fluid through increased velocity. With increased fluid flow, the valve need not necessarily be positioned proximate to cuttings bed 24.

  • detector 30a includes a source of gamma-rays 42, at least one gamma-ray detector 44 and shielding 46 between the detector 44 and the source 42, so that only scattered gamma-rays are detected.
  • gamma-rays from the tool source 42 travel through borehole 16, into earth formation 12. The gamma-rays will be scattered by the electrons in formation 12 or borehole 16 and some of them will be scattered back to detector 30a.
  • the measurement of detector 30a may be used to measure density close to the source as a function of azimuth. If no cuttings bed 24 is proximate to detector 30a, the measured density will be the formation density for all azimuths. If a cuttings bed 24 is present, the density will be higher on the low side of borehole 16.
  • detector 30a is mounted with a separation or stand-off from formation 12 and at some distance above any stabilization or large joint. In another example, detector 30a uses X-rays instead of gamma rays.

  • detector 30b includes an ultrasonic source 48a and detector 48b, which may be components of ultrasonic transducer 49, to generate high frequency sound waves and evaluate the echo which is received back by the detector 30b.
  • Detector 30b calculates the time interval between sending the signal and receiving the echo to determine the distance to the hole wall of borehole 16 and the reflection coefficient. A reduced stand-off on the low side of borehole 16 indicates cuttings bed 24. If casing 20 is steel or a similar material, then the difference in reflection from casing 20 and cuttings bed 24 may be more pronounced.

  • detector 30c includes a low frequency pressure wave source and sensor 50, e.g., seismic to sonic range.
  • Detector 30c generates low frequency pressure waves through the annulus fluid.
  • cuttings bed 24 may act as a reflector to the low frequency pressure waves propagating in the annulus fluid.
  • the amplitude of the reflection, detected by sensor 50 indicates the size of cuttings bed 24. In this manner, sensor 50 would not necessarily need to be proximate to cuttings bed 24 and detector 30c may detect cuttings bed 24 further up borehole 16, for example.
