Abstract
Abstract Hole cleaning during directional well drilling is a major concern in the oil patch and must be monitored and properly controlled during the entire drilling operation. Inadequate drilled cuttings removal can cause many costly problems such as mechanical pipe sticking, excessive torque and drag, difficulties in casing/cementing and in logging. Low fluid annular velocity, lack of drill pipe rotation and the wrong mud properties are primary factors in the inadequacy of effective hole cleaning. This paper presents a thorough review on previous hole cleaning studies and discusses an approach that uses physical-systematic methodology that is more suited for monitoring and controlling hole cleaning problems. The approach is based on relating output and internal state vectors to input vectors. The concept basis is to classify the drilling parameters into inputs, internal states and outputs, check the observability (condition monitoring) and controllability of the hole cleaning as an internal state during drilling. Previous studies on drilled cutting transport can be grouped in four categories: Sensitivity analysis –internal states changes vs. input changesModeling – physical relations of inputs and internal stateMonitoring – using real time measured data to estimate the internal stateControl – change inputs until achieving the desired internal state

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
