AB - In gas horizontal drilling, the gas with cuttings will go through the annulus  at high speed which will lead strong erosion to the drill tools. This paper  proposes a cuttings-carried theory and modified the critical cuttings-carried  model for the gas-solid flow. Meanwhile, the erosive energy is obtained  through simulating the gas-solid mixture in different conditions. The study  result has positive significance on the determination of reasonable injection  volume by optimizing construction parameters of horizontal well in gas  drilling.
