These functions include hole bottom cleaning (drill bit hydraulics) and annular hole cleaning (cuttings transport). During drilling, rig hydraulic horsepower (flow rate times corresponding pressure) must be sufficient to allow fluid circulation at a desired flow rate so as to achieve those fluid functions that will lead to successful drilling. In general, the hydraulics program design deals with the following field operations: (1) during drilling and kick control and (2) during tripping and casings. Thus, the conditions selected must represent a compromise that will lead to the best outcome for a given drilling operation. Conditions that may be ideal for the performance of one function may be detrimental for another.
