Oil Well Diamond Drilling 17 inch S716 PDC Drill Bits Of API Spec
1 . Descriptions:
In the oil and gas industry, drill bits are essential tools used for the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons, such as crude oil and natural gas. These specialized tools are designed to create cylindrical holes, known as wellbores, in the earth's crust using the rotary drilling method.
Among the various types of drill bits available, the PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Composite) drill bit stands out as a high-performance option. Unlike drill bits made of tungsten carbide or other materials, PDC drill bits incorporate Polycrystalline Diamond Composite, which provides superior erosion and abrasion resistance.
The use of Polycrystalline Diamond Composite in PDC drill bits enhances their overall performance, durability, and longevity. These bits can withstand harsh drilling conditions and effectively resist wear caused by the drilling process.
By considering these factors as below , the IADC classification system helps in selecting the most suitable fixed-cutter bit for a given drilling application. It ensures that drill bits are matched to the specific requirements of the wellbore and the geological formations being drilled

3 . PDC Bit profile
4 . Drill Bit PDC Cutters
The primary contact point of a drill bit is the Polycrystalline Diamond Composite (PDC) cutters. PDC bits excel at removing rock formations primarily through shearing action.
Operating in the wellbore exposes the PDC cutters to extreme heating and cooling cycles, creating a highly challenging environment. This thermal stress necessitates the use of PDC cutters with lower thermal degradation and enhanced thermal stability to ensure optimal performance.
By optimizing the design and composition of the PDC cutters, higher rates of penetration (ROP) and increased wear resistance can be achieved. Cutters with improved thermal properties can withstand the demanding conditions encountered during drilling operations, leading to enhanced drilling efficiency and extended cutter lifespan.
5. Drill Bit Nozzles
Drill bit nozzles help clear the cutting area and cool the Polycrystalline Diamond Composite (PDC) cutters.
Effective placement of these nozzles along with the angle they are set at plays a critical role on how efficient the drill bit performs.
Fluid channels also complement nozzle placement to improve the clearing of cuttings.
6. Steel Body PDC Bits
Steel body is the opposite of matrix body. It can of withstanding high impact loads, but is softer and lacks protective features. The strength and ductility of steel give steel-bit bodies high impact resistance.
Steel bodies are considerably stronger than matrix bodies.
A beneficial feature of steel bits is that they can easily be rebuilt a number of times because worn or damaged cutters can be replaced rather easily. This is a particular advantage for operators in low-cost drilling environments.
Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) drill bits are different than roller cones in that they are one piece bodies with no moving parts. The fixed-cutters shred the rock, so the bit is able to operate with higher rotation speeds more efficiently in consolidated formations.
