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...

A drag bit usually consists of a couple of rigid steel blades which rotate as a single unit to drill through soft to medium formations. Drag bits underwent major transformation until hard facing was introduced to the surface of the blades and the design of fluid passageways improved its performance several folds. Since these bits drill through scraping action, they have high rate of penetration. Even though drag bits have been around for the longest time and were the first bits used in rotary drilling applications across the globe, they lost their importance over time for several reasons. Some of these being: 1. Roller cone drill bits could drill soft formations in a much better way than the drag bits. 2. Since drag bits were designed to work on low WOB, excess WOB would result in excessive torque and thus, lead to bit failure. 3. As drag bits would drill crooked holes, the need for some means of controlling this deviation arose. 4. Drag bits were designed to drill through formations t...

Did you know drilling into the ground was done by hand until in the late 1800s when internal combustion engines became popular and widespread? A lot of manual labor was put into power and turn rods. Well, thanks to the metallurgy advancements, the drilling industry has come a long way since then, making all kinds of drilling jobs easier than ever. Talking about the most popular drill bits being used these days, PDC drilling bits can withstand the toughest of drilling jobs with the utmost ease. These can be used in various industries and are typically available as either matrix body drill bits or steel body drill bits. These drilling bits offer superior strength and durability and that is exactly the reason why they can be used for almost any purpose right from drilling for oil wells to exploring beneath the Earth’s surface. One reason why PDC drilling bits are given a higher preference than roller cone drill bits is that they fail to reach their specified life expectancy on most occasi...
