摘要 A hole cleaning joint for a drill string is deployed into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The hole cleaning joint includes a tubular body connectable to the drill string and a hole cleaning section positionable about the tubular body. The hole cleaning section has an outer surface engageable with a wall of the well bore. The outer surface has spiral grooves extending therein defining blades therebetween, and an uphole end and a downhole end with a spiral cavity therebetween. The spiral cavity has a width that decreases towards the uphole end of the spiral cavity to define a tapered flow channel to receive cuttings therethrough whereby uphole movement of cuttings is facilitated during drilling.
