The art of directional drilling has been around for more than a hundred years now. In this drilling method, the direction and deviation of a well bore is controlled to reach a pre-determined underground location.
Read MorePDC drill bits are typically available in two styles – matrix-based and steel-based. As far as steel’s metallurgical properties are concerned, it can withstand high impact loads but needs protective features to keep it from abrasion and corrosion. Steel based PDC drill bits are manufactured by machining the steel bars per design.
Read MoreAs far as the metallurgical properties of the two materials is concerned, steel and matrix are complete opposites of one another. Tungsten carbide grains in matrix are metallurgically bonded to form a hard and brittle composite material which is a lot more resistant than steel and is preferred in high solid-content drilling mud.
Read MorePDC drill bit is the most widely used drilling tool in construction & HDD as well as the oil & gas industry. Available as matrix-body bits and steel-body bits, both have their own advantages and specifications.
Read MoreA drill bit is counted among the most important and best oil & gas drilling tools. Drill bits can either be categorized as roller cone bits or fixed cutter bits. In the following write-up, we will be talking particularly about roller cone drill bits and their design goals.
Read MoreUnlike steel drill bits manufacturers in the UK, PDC bits manufacturers keep factors such as mechanical design parameters, materials, hydraulic conditions, and properties of the rock being drilled in mind to design a bit for enhanced performance.
Read MoreA drilling bit can be defined as a tool mainly used for crushing, scraping, and grinding a formation loose. Depending upon several factors such as cutters, drilling bits can further be classified as TCI drag bits or rolling cutter bits.
Read MoreOver the years, mankind has toiled hard to come up with effective tools for making holes, however, one drilling bit - the PDC bit has been the undisputed king in the field of oil & gas ever since it came into existence. PDC bits revolutionised economical drilling.
Read MoreDrill bits come in all shapes and sizes. Right from Steel Tooth Rotary Bits to Carbide Insert Bits, and Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) Bits to Diamond Bits, drill bits are available across the drilling industry in several types.Choosing the right type of bit usually depends on two significant factors - the type of formation and the conditions in which drilling is to be performed.
Read MoreWhen we talk about drill bits for oil and gas industry, these can be defined as tools designed to produce a generally cylindrical hole (wellbore) in the earth’s crust by the rotary drilling method. This process is carried out for the discovery and extraction of hydrocarbons such as crude oil and natural gas. Drill bits are often referred to as rock bits or simply bits as well.
Read MoreIf you have little knowledge about drilling, you must be aware that a drill’s versatility is afforded by the various attachable drill bits where each of those is uniquely suited to a particular material or job. Having sufficient knowledge about the available types will help you identify the right waterwell drill bits that could serve your purpose …
