How to adjust drilling pressure and speed

 Drilling pressure and drilling speed can be adjusted mainly by the following methods:

The role of drilling pressure and drilling speed:

Drilling pressure: Drilling pressure refers to the axial force exerted on the drill bit, which is mainly used to break rocks. Too much drilling pressure will lead to premature wear and even fracture of the drill bit; too little drilling pressure will result in slow drilling speed and low efficiency.

Rotation speed: Rotation speed refers to the rotational speed of the drill bit, which is mainly used for cutting rock. Too high RPM will lead to overheating of the drill bit and shorten its service life; too low RPM will lead to slow drilling speed and low efficiency.

Adjustment method of drilling pressure and speed:

Starting drilling pressure and speed:

Soft stratum: Adopt the maximum displacement of the drilling pump, the rotational speed of about 100rpm, drilling pressure of about 1~2t. Adjust the drilling parameters after drilling about 1m to achieve the optimal mechanical drilling speed.

Harder formations: It takes longer to grind the bottom of the well. The rotational speed should be controlled at 80120rpm, and the drilling pressure should be gradually increased in 1t increments.

Adjustment during drilling:

Adjustment according to the change of drilling speed: If the drilling speed decreases, the drilling pressure or speed can be increased appropriately; if the drilling speed is too fast, the drilling pressure or speed should be reduced.

Adjustment according to the vibration and noise: If the drilling tool produces strong vibration or noise, the drilling pressure or speed should be reduced.

Adjustment according to the performance of the drilling fluid: If the performance of the drilling fluid deteriorates, the formula of the drilling fluid should be adjusted in time, and the drilling pressure and speed should be adjusted accordingly.

In addition to formation conditions and bit type, the following factors may affect pressure and RPM adjustments:

Performance of drilling fluid: Density, viscosity, and filtration loss of drilling fluid will affect drilling efficiency.

Drilling tool combination: The length, weight, and stiffness of the drilling tools will affect the drilling parameters.

Equipment condition: The power of the drilling rig, the performance of the hydraulic system, etc. will affect the drilling parameters.

What are the differences bewteen core drilling bits and pdc drilling bits

  Although both core drills and PDC drills are tools used for drilling and sampling, there are significant differences between them in terms of material, structure, and scope of application. Core Drill Definition: A core drill is a broad concept that refers to all drills used for coring operations. It can be a variety of types such as tungsten carbide bits, PDC bits, diamond bits and so on. Function: Mainly used to remove a cylindrical section of core sample from different types of materials for subsequent analysis and research. Material: Various materials, including carbide, diamond, PDC, etc. Different materials are selected according to the hardness and toughness of the drilling material. Structure: Relatively simple structure, mainly consists of drill body, inner cylinder and outer cylinder. Application:  Wide range of applications, including geological exploration, engineering survey, mineral exploration, etc. PDC Drill Bit Definition: PDC drill bit is a special coring dr...

What is the diffirence between slurry pump and mud pump?

Many people confuse the concepts of   slurry pump s and   Mud Pump s, but in terms of practical applications or the characteristics of the conveying medium, there are indeed countless similarities between the two pump. Concept analysis of slurry pump and mud pump: The slurry pump is mainly suitable for industries such as mining, power plants, dredging, metallurgy, chemical engineering, building materials, and petroleum. Mud pump is also a popular concept of a broad pump, and different regions, habits, and ultimately involve different pump types. Mud pumps are used in the field of oil drilling. In fact, some non clean water pumps and mud pumps such as sewage pumps and slurry pumps are also commonly referred to. The similarities between slurry pump and mud pump: 1. In terms of working principle, it belongs to a centrifugal pump. Conceptually, it refers to a mechanical device that converts electrical energy into the kinetic and potential energy of the medium by increasing the ene...
