See full text

A method to be used when performing drilling in a well bore and a device for performing the method are disclosed. The method includes positioning in the well bore a drill string comprising at least two pipe conduits, an upper end, and a lower end comprising a drilling tool, thereby forming an outer annulus between the well bore wall and the drill string. A well bore section comprising at least one u-shaped section is drilled. A first fluid with a first density is fed into the outer annulus above the u-shaped section, and a second fluid with a second density is provided within the drill string and around the tool, where the first density is larger than the second density.
