Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including determining, in real-time, values of drilling parameters of a drilling system drilling a wellbore. The operations further include calculating, based on the values of the drilling parameters, a cuttings concentration in an annulus of the wellbore (CCA). Further, the operations include calculating, based on the calculated CCA and a mud weight (MW) of a drilling fluid, an effective mud weight (MW) of the drilling fluid. Yet further, the operations include calculating, based on the effective mud weight, a slip velocity of the cuttings. In addition, the operations include calculating, based on the slip velocity, a transport ratio (TR) of the cuttings.
