PDC 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 MoreA drill bit is the most common tool used for drilling a hole in any kind of formation, be it concrete or an underground oil or gas well
Read MoreEven though modern day PDC drill bits have come a long way since their inception, top drill bit manufactures in the UK still continue to innovate in an attempt to raise the bar of expectations by achieving higher efficiency and better durability than their competitors
Read MoreAny boring that doesn’t follow a vertically straight path can be categorized as directional drilling. As far as conventional drilling for gas and oil well using high-quality drilling bits is concerned, all the tools go down in a straight line.
Read MoreThe best way to extract the best performance out of a drilling bit, or any tool for that matter, is to reduce the damage. As far as working with a PDC drill bit is concerned, reducing the PDC cutter damage can go a long way.
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 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 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.
