Our 2 days of Showcasing PDC Drilling tools at Trenchless Balkans at Cluj, Romania, 16-17 May 2022

Rockpecker team visited Romania- a beautiful country and the largest one in South-eastern Europe where the 4th Trenchless Balkans Conference and Exhibition was hosted by the Romanian Society for Trenchless Technology (RoSTT) held on 16 & 17 May 2022 at the Grand Hotel Italia, Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

Rockpecker was represented at this event by Mr Rajnish Kumar and Mr Tushar Dhawan, who stated that it was an international event with a modest gathering of European countries known as the Balkans. Rockpecker was the only PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Cutters) Drill Bits Manufacturer company that had been displaying the best of its designs there at the Trenchless Balkans Exhibition and Conference. Below Mentioned are the products exhibited at our exhibition stand:

Mini PDC Bits

VRS (VERSATILE REPLACEABLE SYSTEM) Hole Opener/ Centralization VRS Hole Opener

PDC Drill Bits

PDC Drag Bits and Accessories.

According to the visitors, Rockpecker products are among the premier tools particularly, the Water well Drill Bits, Oil Well Drill HDD (Horizontal Direction Drilling) and HDD Pilot Bit.

Most importantly, we were pleasantly surprised by the response of all the trenchless technology industry invitees and event sponsors who generously shared their time and expertise with us. They were the ones who added more to our experience, and we want to thank everyone who met us at our stand.

The majority of those that stopped by our table were interested in learning more about our Steel Body PDC Bits, Custom Designed Hole Openers and Max flush or Full flush Blade PDC Hole Opener for geothermal and water well applications. We were pleased with their presence.

Along with Rockpecker 26 other prestigious companies were the co-sponsoring this exhibition and conference which are as follows:

We also like to mention the cherry on the cake slot of this event i.e., the Gala Dinner followed by the award ceremony. The highlight of this slot was Romanian folk dance along with Romanian traditional cuisine. After a long but productive day, the Gala Dinner was a nice treat at the end of the programme. The Gala Dinner was a great blend of Romanian culture, gastronomy, and business opportunities provided by other guest companies who did not exhibit at the event.

To sum up, we would like to underline that sharing the space and time with the best companies of the Trenchless Balkans and witnessing a successful event along with other sponsors made our contribution worthwhile. All in all, it was a good opportunity to discuss business ideas with the new set of trenchless organisations and to know the scope of Rockpecker PDC Drill Bits along with an adventurous chance of trying Romanian cuisine.

Everything You Need to Know About Hole Openers

Everything You Need to Know About Hole Openers

A hole opener is a popular fixed diameter borehole enlargement tool that is used in all facets of drilling in several industries including oil & gas. While some hole openers run with roller cones, there are a few other categories too that do not run on roller cones. Considering the fact that most horizontal hole openers do not have a moving part, there is no fear of losing the cones.

5 Lesser Known Facts about PDC Drill Bits

PDC drill bits have been around for a while now, however, most professionals in the field are still unaware of some very interesting facts about this really useful tool. Let’s take a look!

1.      PDC drill bits can be retrieved after drilling through rock by drilling with rock-specific fluids that dissolve the diamond crystals on the cutting face of the tool to expose fresh ones when they are worn out.

2.      PDC drilling is advantageous in smaller diameters because it does not cause heat cracks in rock formations even at high rotational speeds. One of the main differences between drilling with PDCs and other drilling tools is that drilling fluid continuously flushes rock cuttings away from the bit by means of internal (and external) passages .

3.      The major obstacle in drilling through harder rocks has also been overcome. Diamonds are compressed into small octahedral shapes which act like knives when they come into contact with the formation rather than chipping or shearing like drill bits made using bond materials do. The drilling fluid does not even need to be changed after drilling through these formations because little wear occurs on diamond bits.

4.      The drilling fluid is being constantly mixed within the drilling assembly when drilling with PDCs. This is achieved by drilling with twin rotary shafts where each contains its own motor and gearbox to rotate independently of the other. When this occurs, rock fragments passing through small holes between adjacent teeth on both sets of gears get crushed by every tooth they pass through. The fact that rocks are broken down into very fine powder-like material allows for easier removal of debris during drilling , thus reducing wear on drill bits and prolonging tool life.

5.      PDC drilling has also proven beneficial when drilling into extremely hard rocks which would normally destroy most drilling tools.

Advantages of Steel Based PDC Drill Bits

Advantages of Steel Based PDC Drill Bits

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.

Directional Drilling And The Advances In Drilling Technology

Directional Drilling And The Advances In Drilling Technology

Directional drilling has gained significant popularity as a technique to get otherwise hard to access natural gas or oil embedded in shale. It does so by controlling the path of the wellbore by manipulating the angle of the PDC bit, as opposed to simply drilling straight down
