Oil and Gas PDC Drill Bits Have a Specialized Cutting Structure



The engineering expertise that we witness in the oil and gas PDC drill bits industry today is a hard toiled result of years of consistent efforts in materials and designs aimed at greater efficiency in drilling operations and extending bit life by enhancing the rate of penetration, improving wear resistance. However, the most landmark changes occurred in the design and functioning of the drill bit when the industry was given polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits.

PDC drill bits are different from the conventional roller cone bit as they have a specialized cutting structure. The PDC cutters have two parts - a polycrystalline diamond table and its substrate and are improving the ROP in many difficult wells on a global scale. PDC drill bits come with a fixed cutter that has an incomparable performance in abrasive lateral applications. Research and statistics have suggested that the PDC drill bits offer 56% more footage drilled compared with that of the fixed cutter drill bits.

These features have definitely helped PDC bits reserve their spot as the most efficient type of drill bits. The ongoing advancements in the drill bit industry are improving the performance of the drilling industry and changing the overall mechanics of drilling.

Some other features of high performance oilfield drill bits are:

·         Hardened alloy steel/matrix base material

·         High performance PDC cutters

·         Gauge protection, carbide, and diamond

·         Carbide/diamond shock studs

·         Carbide nozzles for flushing

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

Everything You Need To Know About PDC Hole Openers

Image
What is a hole opener? A hole opener can be defined as a fixed diameter bore hole enlargement tool that is used to expand a well bore beyond its original hole size drilled by the bit. Different types of PDC hole openers are used for different applications. These are stable, vibration free, have a longer service life, and there is no fear of losing the cones. The major function of a PDC hole opener A PDC hole opener is usually used after the pilot bit has drilled the original hole. It can either have a body with roller cones or it could be a fixed blade that would be dressed with PDC. Where are these used? A hole opener is tripped into the well bore to the beginning depth and then utilized to enlarge the pre-drilled pilot hole. This is the most common use of a hole opener, however, they may be also utilized to ensure that the gauge of the pilot hole is intact through a method called a wiper trip. Wiper trips are suited well for deviated holes where trying to run the bit back to the end

Factors That Influence the Choice of Right Drill Bit

Image
Choosing the right drill bit for any application is of utmost importance in terms of ensuring success and productivity. Other than ground conditions, some other factors that influence the choice of most suitable drill bit have been discussed below. 1. Drill Rig One of the first things that need to be given attention to when choosing the perfect drill bit is the type of drill and its working capacity. When using an old-style drill rig, go ahead with a bit specified for lower RPM. 2. Drilling Expertise If you are still new to the world of drilling and drilling technologies, you should put in extra effort to make sure that the RPM corresponds with the diameter you are using. 3. Knowledge of Area to be Drilled If you have no idea about the area that needs to be drilled, you should start off by taking a look at the previous drilling campaigns that might have been carried out in that area. As a precautionary measure, you may want to go ahead with choosing a drill bit that is suited for a wid
