PDC composite drill bit is a widely used drilling tool in the fields of oil and gas drilling, geological exploration, etc. It has the characteristics of high efficiency and durability. Here is a detailed introduction:
1. Structural composition
Drill bit body: usually made of high-strength alloy steel, it is the main structure of the drill bit, which plays a role in supporting and connecting other components, while bearing various forces during the drilling process.
PDC composite: This is a key working component of the drill bit, which is sintered from a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) layer and a hard alloy substrate at high temperature and high pressure. The PCD layer has high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, and can effectively cut rocks; The hard alloy substrate provides good toughness and support, ensuring that the composite sheet is not easily broken during operation. The PDC composite piece is fixed at the end of the drill bit body by welding or mechanical embedding.
Nozzle: located on the drill bit body, used to spray drilling fluid towards the bottom of the well. The drilling fluid forms a high-speed jet through the nozzle, which can clean the rock debris at the bottom of the well, cool and lubricate the drill bit, and also assist in breaking the rock, improving drilling efficiency.
2. Working principle
During the drilling process, PDC composite bits are driven to rotate by the rotation of the drill string, and the PDC composite bits come into contact with the rock surface and produce cutting action. Due to the high hardness and sharp cutting edges of PDC composite sheets, they can scrape rocks off the bottom of the well like a scraper, forming rock debris. At the same time, drilling fluid is sprayed from the nozzle, carrying rock debris to the surface, keeping the bottom of the well clean, and enabling the drill bit to continuously and effectively cut rocks.
3. Characteristics
High drilling efficiency: PDC composite has strong cutting ability and can quickly break rocks. Compared with traditional roller bits, it can significantly improve drilling speed and shorten drilling time in soft to medium hard formations.
Good wear resistance: The polycrystalline diamond layer has excellent wear resistance, which can maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge during long-term drilling operations, reduce the wear of the drill bit, extend the service life of the drill bit, and reduce drilling costs.
Low torque and low vibration: PDC composite drill bits cut smoothly during drilling, producing relatively small torque and vibration, which helps reduce fatigue damage to the drill string, improve the reliability and stability of drilling equipment, and also protect the wellbore wall from collapse.
Adapt to multiple geological formations: By selecting the appropriate type, size, and arrangement of PDC composite discs, as well as designing the structure of the drill bit body, PDC composite disc drill bits can adapt to various geological conditions from soft to medium hard formations.
4. Application Fields
Oil and gas drilling: It is a commonly used drilling tool in oil and gas exploration and development, widely used on land and offshore drilling platforms, which can quickly and efficiently drill through various formations to obtain oil and gas resources.
Geothermal development: In geothermal drilling, PDC composite drill bits can withstand high temperature environments and effectively drill into geothermal formations, providing strong technical support for the development and utilization of geothermal resources.
Water well drilling: Used for the excavation of water wells, it can quickly penetrate the formation and reach the groundwater layer, providing water sources for industrial and agricultural production as well as residential life.
Engineering geological survey: In engineering geological surveys such as roads, bridges, and buildings, PDC composite drill bits can be used to drill different types of rocks and soil layers, obtain geological samples, and provide geological data for engineering design.
