Energy Efficiency Improvements in Dry Drilling with Optimised Diamond-Like Carbon Coating [PDF]
We demonstrate enhancements of performance and energy efficiency of cutting tools by deposition of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings on machine parts. DLC was deposited on steel drill bits, using plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) with ...

Rig Rates and Drilling Speed: Reinforcing Effects [PDF]
This paper studies how drilling costs are affected by the business cycle. We decompose the major elements in these costs rig rates and drilling speed - and examine how they interact with variations in oil prices. A highly relevant consideration in the current circumstances is whether oil companies can compensate for falling oil prices not only by ...

Drilling rate changes when air drilling is switched to mist drilling. [Claystone] [PDF]
Eight shallow (30-foot-deep) holes were drilled in four formations to determine if the reduction in penetration rate that usually occurs when air drilling is changed to mist drilling might be due to the physical action of drilling a wet, soapy rock. The results showed an average loss of 9.3%, with the greatest loss occurring in limestone.
