Classification of PDC Bits According to Their Steerability

Proceedings of SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, 2003
Abstract With the emergence of rotary steerable systems, the technical issue concerning the bit design for a specific directional application has reappeared. Today, a bit must be specifically designed for use with a particular directional system: rotary bottom hole assembly (BHA), steerable mud motor or rotary steerable system (RSS). The

Field Experience With PDC Bits in Northeast Texas

Proceedings of IADC/SPE Drilling Conference, 1983
Abstract In an effort to improve penetration rates of infill drilling in northeast Texas, Sun Gas Division, Sun Exploration and Production initiated a program to evaluate the performance of polycrystalline diamond cutter (PDC) bits. Numerous bit runs were made in a selected interval in an attempt to determine which style PDC bit to use ...

Influence of bit-rock interaction on stick-slip vibrations of PDC bits

Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2002
Abstract This paper describes a new approach to understand the causes of stick-slip vibrations experienced by PDC bits. This new model takes into consideration not only the axial and torsional modes of vibration, but also the coupling between these two modes through bit-rock interaction laws, which are consistent with laboratory results ...

PDC Bits Using Positive Rake Cutters

IADC/SPE Drilling Conference, 1990
ABSTRACT A radical new concept in bit technology has been developed for use in drilling the deep water shales of the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi Delta where both milltooth and conventional PDC bits have performed poorly. This new tool utilizes the following technical elements: Large diameter positive rake PDC cutters as the ...

PDC-Bit Performance Under Simulated Borehole Conditions

SPE Drilling & Completion, 1993
SummaryLaboratory drilling tests were used to investigate the effects of pressure on polycrystalline-diamond-compact (PDC) drill-bit performance. Catoosa shale core samples were drilled with PDC and roller-cone bits at up to 1, 750-psi confining pressure. All tests were conducted in a controlled environment with a full-scale laboratory drilling system.

PDC Bits Find Applications in Oklahoma Drilling

IADC/SPE Drilling Conference, 1983
Abstract Drilling in Oklahoma is difficult by any standards. PDC bits, with proven success drilling soft, homogenous formations common in the North Sea and U.S. Gulf Coast regions, have found some significant "spot" applications in Oklahoma.

DRILLING HARD AND ABRASIVE FORMATIONS WITH PDC BITS

Proceedings of SPE Latin America Petroleum Engineering Conference, 1992
Abstract Due to the success obtained by PDC bits drilling unconsolidated formations of Miocene age several designs have been tested in an attempt to extend the PDC bit application range to the harder an more abrasive formations of Ceuta field, in western Venezuela.

Hydrodynamic analysis of the PDC drill bits

2019
Authors have estimated geometrical characteristics of stabilizing constructions of the cutting – shearing type drill bits. Multiple experiments regarding optimal hydraulic construction of the drill bits’ shafts for most effective water filtering ability were made, with calculations and equations being present. The usage of the offered construction will
