Hard formation drilling presents significant challenges to Polycrystalline Diamond Compact PDC bits. The major cause of reduced ROP and bit life has been identified as lateral downhole drill string vibration or ‘bit whirl’. The phenomenon manifests itself in the form of high irregular torques and poor rates of penetration. The negative impact of vibrations on …
Drilling bits have unique technologies. There are different drilling demands. The drilling bit application will be separate almost anywhere in the world where drilling is done. For example, there will be other formations and drilling applications in multiple places in the United States. Oilfield drilling bits have unique manufacturing & design concepts. Much design work …
Oil well drilling cost per foot is a convenient way of comparing the economic impact of bit performances (Roller cone bit performance – PDC bit performance) on a well that is to be drilled. We are not interested in the absolute, actual, real, or true cost per foot on a real well. Bit prices, rig …
The Importance of Drilling Bit Selection Optimum ROP and Durability Drilling Bit selection commonly involves choosing a bit that offers the right balance between durability and Rate of Penetration. We cannot get the maximum penetration rate and durability in one bit. The right balance between the two will yield an Optimum ROP and Optimum Durability for …
Baker Hughes is one of the leading service companies that are working in the oilfield. They are offering many services including manufacturing and supplying oilfield drilling bits. Here in this article, we shall introduce to you two versions of Baker Hughes Christensen Drill Bits Spec Sheets & Catalog PDF to download. We also have gathered …
Definitions for PDC Bit Dull Characteristics (Column 3) Bit Dull Grading Characteristic or column 3 In IADC Bit Dull Grading is used to characterize the predominant failure mode for a bit. For a primary dull characteristic, the following definitions apply: Broken Teeth – More than 1/2 of the cutter is broken off, and the break …
Some of the dull characteristics listed In Our Bit Dull Grading Guide are self-explanatory. More detailed description of the two-letter codes can be obtained from bit companies. Examples of some of the dull characteristics for Roller Cone Bit Design are shown below. BROKEN CONE (BC) – Roller Cone Bit Dull Characteristics The broken cone in …

This article will handle the definition of the term Total Flow Area, how to calculate TFA, how to use the TFA chart to calculate bit total flow area, and finally, you can download its calculator for desktop and mobile. What Is The Drilling Bit Jet Nozzles? The part of the drilling bit includes a hole …
The performance of a bit may be judged on the following criteria: Cost Per Feet Since the aim of bit selection is to achieve the lowest cost per foot of hole drilled the best method of assessing the bits’ performance is the last of the above. This method is applied by calculating the cost per …
