How to select a drilling rig bit

 

1. Stratigraphic condition analysis

Rock properties: Different rock properties have different requirements for drill bits. Soft rock can use drill bits with large slag discharging capacity, while hard rock requires hard and wear-resistant drill bits. Strata with a high degree of fragmentation are prone to rock chips, which require drill bits with good slag discharge capacity.


Stratigraphic and hydrological conditions: Groundwater level and water pressure will affect the selection of drilling fluids. Stratigraphy with high water content is prone to well wall collapse, which requires the selection of corrosion-resistant and scour-resistant drill bits.


stratum complexity: Interlayers, faults, etc. in the stratum will increase the difficulty of drilling, and it is necessary to choose adaptable bits, for example, high geostress will easily lead to jamming of the drilling tools, and it is necessary to choose the bits with good rigidity and torsion resistance.

2. Drilling depth

Shallow water wells: you can choose simple structures and low-cost drill bits.

Deep water wells: You need to choose a drill bit with good abrasion resistance and strong impact resistance to ensure the stability and efficiency of drilling.

3. Drill Bit Types

Three-tooth drill bit: suitable for soft rock and medium-hard rock stratum, with a lower price.

PDC bit: suitable for hard rock and stratum interface, high efficiency, and long life.

Diamond bit: Suitable for ultra-hard rock formation, expensive.

Carbide drill bits: high hardness, wear-resistant, suitable for hard rock and medium-hard rock formations.

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...

Does the water well drilling bit have a warranty

  Whether or not a water well drill bit has a warranty, and the length of that warranty, depends on several factors: Drill Bit Type:  Different types of drill bits vary greatly in their structure, material and manufacturing process, and therefore warranty policies will vary. For example, PDC bits (polycrystalline diamond composite bits) usually have a longer warranty due to their higher technology, whereas some simple tooth wheel bits or diamond bits may not have a defined warranty or may have a shorter warranty. Manufacturer/Supplier:  After-sales service policies and reputations vary between manufacturers or suppliers. Some large, reputable manufacturers usually offer a good warranty, while some small, unknown suppliers may not offer a warranty or may have harsh warranty terms. Purchase Contracts/Agreements:  When purchasing a drill bit, it is important to read the terms of the purchase contract or agreement carefully, especially the sections on warranty and after-...

How to replace the impeller of a slurry pump

  The impeller of the slurry pump is a wearing part, which needs to be inspected and replaced periodically. The process of replacing the impeller is relatively complex and requires certain specialized knowledge and skills. The following are the steps for replacing the impeller of the slurry pump: 1. Preparation Shut down and disconnect the power:  Before any operation, be sure to cut off the power supply to ensure safety. Preparation tools:  ready wrenches, screwdrivers, gaskets, new impeller and so on. Drain:  Empty the pump. Protective measures:  Wear protective gloves, safety glasses and other protective equipment. 2. Disassembly Procedure DISASSEMBLY:  Disassemble the suction and discharge pipes connected to the pump. Remove pump cover:  Loosen the bolts securing the pump cover and carefully remove the cover. Remove the impeller:  Loosen the nuts secure the impeller with a suitable tool and remove the impeller. 3. Install the new impeller Insp...
