ABSTRACT:
A method for monitoring efficacy of removal of cuttings generated during drilling of a well is disclosed which features injection of artificial cuttings into the well-drilling fluid at a controlled rate and monitoring the rate of return of the artificial cuttings in the return drilling fluid stream. The relative rate of return with respect to the rate of injection is indicative of the efficacy of removal of the cuttings generated in the drilling process.
