Selecting Ideal Bit
• Drilling Cost per foot• Drillability• Abrasiveness• Type of Reservoir• Cost of the Bit• Depth
![Page 4: Drill bit types advantages and disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/58e807711a28abfd738b49f5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Improving Bit Performance• Stabilize the Bit
• Maintain minimum mud weight, sand & solids
• Maintain adequate bottom hole cleaning
• Protect the seals - avoid pressure surges
• Thoroughly inspect bit before re-running
• Keep oil from the mud, and from the seals
• Follow manufacturers recommendations (e.g. 6,000
lb/in of diameter and 40-60 RPM)

• Drill Bit Grading• Tooth Wear/Loss• Bearing Wear• Gauge Wear
![Page 8: Drill bit types advantages and disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/58e807711a28abfd738b49f5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Contd.
A steel-toothed piece of equipment attached to the lower end of the drillstring in order to:• crush, • scrape and, • grind formation loose. The two types available are:• drag bits• rolling cutter bits
![Page 9: Drill bit types advantages and disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/58e807711a28abfd738b49f5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Drag bit• They consist of fixed cutter blades that are integral with the body of the bit and rotate as
a unit with the drillstring. The cutting element consists of steelcutters, diamond, or polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC).
• Steelcutter bits the serrated steel blades are set at different angles(e.g. a fishtail bit).
• Natural diamond bits the face or crown of the bit consists of many diamonds set in a tungsten carbide matrix.
• Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits a layer of synthetic PDC is bonded to a cemented tungsten carbide, it contains many diamond crystals bonded together. The sintered PDC compact is bonded either to a tungsten carbide bit-body matrix or to a tungsten carbide stud that is mounted in a steel bit.
• Thermally stable polycrystalline (TSP) bits these bits are manufactured in a similar fashion to PDC bits but are tolerant of much higher temperatures than PDC bits.
![Page 10: Drill bit types advantages and disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/58e807711a28abfd738b49f5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Roller Cutter Bits
• They have two or more cones containing the cutting elements which rotate about the axis of the cone as the bit is rotated at the bottom of the hole. The 3-cone rolling cutter bit is by far the most common.
• Important factors to consider in this type of bit are: structural materials, bearing-seal-lubricating design, cutting structure arrangements, and hydraulic arrangements.
![Page 11: Drill bit types advantages and disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/58e807711a28abfd738b49f5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Types of Bits1. Drag Bits: Fixed cutter blades
Consist of fixed cutter blades that are integral with the body of the bit and rotate as a unit with the drill string (19th century).
2. Rolling Cutter Bits: Rock bits - with cones (1909) have two or more cones containing
the cutting elements which rotate about the axis of the cone as the bit is rotated at the bottom of the hole.

Drag Bits– Drilling is achieved by physically blowing cuttings from
the bottom of the bore-hole
![Page 14: Drill bit types advantages and disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/58e807711a28abfd738b49f5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Drag Bits
Advantages
– No rolling parts which require strong clean bearing
surfaces
– Because it is made from one solid piece of steel
there is less chance of bit breakage, which would
leave junk in the bottom of the hole

PolyCrystalline Diamond (PCD) Bits
• Since mid 1970’s a PDC Bits has been made possible by
the introduction of a sintered polycrystalline diamond
drill blanks, as a bit cutter element
• The drill blanks consist of a layer of a synthetic
polycrystalline diamond about 1/64 in. thick that is
bonded to a cemented tungsten carbide substrate in a
high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) process

ROLLING CUTTER BITS
• Rolling Cutter Bits– Steel Tooth (milled tooth)
– Carbide Tooth (tungsten carbide insert)
• Introduced in 1909 by Howard Hughes– 2 - cone bit
– Not self-cleaning
![Page 41: Drill bit types advantages and disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/58e807711a28abfd738b49f5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

ROLLING CUTTER BITS
• The three-cone rolling cutter bit is by far the most
common bit
• Large variety of tooth design and bearing types
• Maximum use is made of limited space
• Cone offset to stop rotating periodically to scrape the
hole like (PCD) bits
• It increases drilling speed but tooth wears faster. (4 for
soft, 0 for hard)
![Page 43: Drill bit types advantages and disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/58e807711a28abfd738b49f5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
ROLLING CUTTER BITS
• Shape of teeth: long widely spaced steel teeth are used
for drilling soft formations
• As the rock type gets harder the tooth length and cone
offset must be reduced to prevent tooth breakage
• Tooth action = Scraping and twisting
• Zero offset cones action = Crushing
• Smaller tooth allows more room for the construction
of stronger bearings
![Page 44: Drill bit types advantages and disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/58e807711a28abfd738b49f5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Classification of Tricone Bits(a) Milled tooth cutters
(b) Tungsten carbide insert cutters
• Hard facing on one side of the tooth allows self sharpening
• Chipping tends to keep tooth sharp
• Intermeshing is advantageous.
• Heel teeth = outer-raw very difficult job it wears it leads to out of gauge bit (hole)
![Page 45: Drill bit types advantages and disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/58e807711a28abfd738b49f5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
