Wellbore Cleaning Efficiency

Wellbore Cleaning Efficiency MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Evaluates hole cleaning effectiveness and cuttings transport efficiency.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides analytical tools to evaluate the effectiveness of cuttings transport and the accumulation of cuttings beds during drilling operations. It allows AI agents to calculate bed_height, determine critical_velocity, and optimize_flow_rate based on mud rheology, hole angle, and ROP. Use evaluate_cleaning_risk to receive safety assessments and recommendations to prevent stuck pipe and pressure issues.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_bed_height

Determines the thickness of the cuttings bed accumulated at a specific section of the wellbore

determine_critical_velocity

Calculates the minimum fluid velocity required to prevent or remove a cuttings bed

evaluate_cleaning_risk

Provides a high-level safety assessment based on current drilling parameters

optimize_flow_rate

Recommends the necessary flow rate to achieve a target cleaning efficiency

What is the expected bed height for a 45 degree hole with a viscosity of 20, flow rate of 500, ROP of 15, and cuttings size of 0.005?

The calculated bed height is 0.025 meters with a cleaning efficiency of 85% and a Low risk level.

Calculate the minimum velocity needed for a 60 degree well with a mud yield point of 15, cuttings size of 0.008, and fluid density of 1100.

The critical velocity required is 0.45 m/s with a safety threshold of 0.52 m/s.

I have a bed height of 0.15m in a 12.25 inch hole at a 75 degree angle. What is the risk?

The risk score is 75, which is a Warning level. It is recommended to increase flow rate or circulate bottoms up.

You can use the `evaluate_cleaning_risk` tool to get a risk score and alert level based on your current bed height and wellbore diameter.
