3. Case History
Case 1: Measurement of true hole volume for cement calculations: pseudocaliper log.
Computed 17 Hole Volume
m3 124.50
3. Case History
Case 2: Measurement of true hole volume for cement calculations: cavings
collected during wiper trip.
The section report shows
that a wiper trip at 6770
has generated 47 bbls of
solids returns.
This information leads to
two conclusions:
47 bbls
cavings
3. Case History
Case 3: Confirm Correct cuttings recovery.
3. Case History
Case 4: Trading-off between well cleaning
and hole integrity.
While drilling this section, the hole seemed
in-gauge until 14780, with approximately 9
bbls of cuttings left in hole.

Case 5: Sliding / Rotary effect.
When drilling directional wells, sliding mode is often associated with poor
well cleaning. Accurate volume monitoring can confirm that.
Cuttings returns indicate clearly that:
