3 Reasons You Should Choose PDC Bits over Tricone Drill Bits




Before we delve deep into the comparison between tricone drill bits and PDC drill bits, it is important to understand what drill bits actually are. There exists a drill bit for just about every application, from simple bits for drilling into sheet metal on home projects, to specialized tungsten carbide diamond impregnated bits for drilling into hard rock formations. Knowing which drill bits are the most efficient comes with years of drilling experience and research.

Tricone drill bits have been in the market way before rock-shearing bits like PDC’s came into existence. While the drilling bit PDC may be a relative newcomer to the drilling industry, its strength and solidity have enabled it to hit the ground running on a number of fronts:

1.      Live Long and Prosper

While tricones require a lower the initial investment, PDC bits can be more cost-effective in the long run, thanks to the fact that their greater lifespan equates to a less frequent bit replacements than with tricones.

2.      Drill Faster and Farther

In optimal circumstances where you've established the type of rock and chosen the proper bit, PDC boasts a far higher rate of Penetration than tricones, reducing the cost per foot by allowing you to drill farther and faster with a single bit.


3.      Have Less to Lose

With no moving parts, PDC bits avoid the risk of losing a cone in the hole, something that doesn’t stand true for tricones.

Rockpecker Limited has designed and made PDC drill bits for numerous different applications and still continues to innovate. We use top of the line degree of workmanship and skill to make sure every bit is crafted for your use and requirement to perfection by our experienced professionals. Our PDC drill bits are usually equipped with hardened alloy steel base material, high-performance PDC cutters, gauge protection in carbide and diamond, and carbide nozzles for flushing. Also, these features can also be changed according to your specific requirements.

Everything You Should Know About Oil Well Drilling Bits

Image
Any conversation around oil well drilling bits will be incomplete without a mention of all the factors that affect the performance of a drilling bit. These factors include the condition of the drilling bit, the weight applied to it, and the rate at which it rotates. The importance of drilling fluid for enhancing the performance of a drilling bit is something that cannot be taken for granted either. Before we talk about choosing the right oil well drilling bit, let us take a look at what functions do they serve: . Speedy penetration by choosing the most suitable bit for that particular rock formation . Offer a long working life and minimize trip time The two factors which significantly affect the choice of drill bits and reamers are the type of soil formation to be drilled and the cost of the bit. Choosing the most suitable drill bits for oil gas drilling helps cut down the bit costs and minimize the number of trips required for bit changes. Here, it is important to be brought to your

An Overview of Oil and Gas Drill Bits

Image
As far as the oil and gas industry is concerned, a drill bit can be defined as a tool designed to produce a generally cylindrical hole in the earth’s crust for the discovery and extraction of hydrocarbons. The tool is also commonly referred to as a rock bit, or simply a bit. Drill bits are used to produce holes of quite small diameters, from about 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) to 30 inches (76 cm), compared to the depth of the hole, which can range from 1,000 feet (300 m) to more than 30,000 feet (9,100 m). Cutting elements of the bit are used to break apart subsurface by scraping, grinding, or localized compressive fracturing. A method called direct circulation is used to remove the cuttings produced by the bits from the wellbore and continuously return those to the surface. Selecting the proper oil and gas drill bits for a well is an important decision that affects the overall well cost. Some of the many factors that must be evaluated before you bottom down on one are: Bit Cost Expected Param
