bit selection
The spark that lit the fires of the oil age and consequently accelerated the Second Industrial Revolution (automobiles, power, etc.) can be traced to one man and his invention. That man was Howard Hughes Sr. and his invention, the roller-cone drill bit. Born in 1869, Hughes was a naturally restless and rebellious child with an obsession for tinkering with mechanical objects. He had taken and given up multiple different interests quickly, sticking to none. Following his father's path as a lawyer, he enrolled at Harvard University in 1893 to study law, dropping out within a year.

This episode will allow us to review the history of Snapscan: how it started, which hardware was utilized and why it migrated to a phone-based application. We will also discuss the decision process to bring quality data capture to the rig floor and to the drill bit level. Cutter damage is constantly misunderstood when evaluated by naked eye. We will also explain how Snapscan changed the future of drill bits and the plans to integrate the data into the process to develop better products and deliver performance.

Drillbit dull grading is a well-known process that accumulates the best forensic evidence of the interaction with the rock being drilled for drilling dynamics and practices analysis. To leverage this knowledge, an accurate and well-populated database is essential and SnapScan is the sophisticated solution for simplifying this challenge. This episode will allow us to review the history of SnapScan: how it started, which hardware was utilized and why it migrated to a phone-based application. We will also discuss the decision process to bring quality data capture to the rig floor and to the drill bit level. Cutter damage is constantly misunderstood when evaluated by naked eye.
Materials, design, and product optimization are the three pillars to provide and improve drill bits quality. The conventional process to produce material for drill bit body reached the limit on certain properties. To leverage new material performance, a unique method and innovative process of manufacturing was developed for the benefit of better field results and reliability. SLB joins this SPE Tech Talk to demonstrate how 3D-printed matrix material can advance bit performance.

IADC Code Upgrade: Interpretation of Surface and Downhole Data to Support Drilling Forensics

Summary This paper establishes drilling surveillance interpretation and monitoring techniques for digital drilling data which can be used to support drilling forensics and improve drilling performance. One significant advancement in the last 20 years has been the widespread availability and use of sensors to monitor all aspects of the drilling process. The majority of sensors will take surface and downhole data at several hundred samples per second, process the data, and store a record at one sample per second. The data from these sensors are collated and processed using some form of electronic data recording (EDR) system. The information is subsequently displayed in real time and stored for off-site transmittal. This paper extensively evaluates the impact on drilling performance due to how data from such sensors are collected and processed and the information is displayed. A number of observations are investigated, analyzed, and explained identifying how data quality, consistency, frequency, sensor errors, and data artifacts can skew the displayed results. This can critically impact the drilling forensic analysis and subsequent interpretation. Failing to account for these data quality issues in real time may mask drilling dysfunction, causing accelerated damage to the drill bit and drilling assembly. This paper also aims to highlight techniques for displaying and interpreting drilling data to enhance drilling performance as well as diagnose dysfunction during reviews of historic wells. Understanding these limitations in advance and incorporating them in a teamโs surveillance strategy can help with the diagnosis of drilling dysfunction and aid performance improvement. These recommended practices have been developed to offer a foundation for drilling surveillance, interpretation, and monitoring as well as training for the industry. They have been created such that they can grow organically and may be used for developing subsequent industry publications. The work described in this paper is part of a joint International Association of Drilling Contactors (IADC)/Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) industry effort to revise the IADC dull-grade process.

Drill bit diameters are often 12.25 in. A drag bit or fish-tail bit has teeth that cut and tear soft formations as the bit is rotated. A roller bit has hardened teeth on wheels that alternately put formations under pressure and relieve the pressure, which causes rock pieces to flake off. A diamond bit uses industrial diamonds set into the cutting surfaces to drill very hard formations. Core bits are designed to retrieve rock cores.

Use of Advanced Simulation Software to Understand Drilling Challenges that Leads to the Selection of PDC Drill Bit, Reduced the Risk of Failure and Improves Performance by 22% at South Argentina

Abstract The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a comprehensive methodology for an efficient selection process of a Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) drill bit design tailored to a given drilling conditions with the use of digitalization. This is achieved by utilizing a software that recreates the PDC design with a polygonal mesh model. Then it's subjected to dynamic drilling conditions; which include the application of loads equivalent to Weight on Bit (WOB), and a rotational motion, equivalent to Revolution Per Minute; of solids that have mechanical properties calibrated with data from pressurized drilling tests in specific rock types. After the incorporation of data from offset wells and the target well, the software is capable to simulate the loads and stress that the PDC will be subjected to when drilling the specific environment. This will allow to analyze the bits performance and durability, thus predicting the challenges, to verify if the drill bit design itself will comply with the application's requirements. After completing an iterative simulation process, where the geometries and positioning of features of the PDC drill bit are modified until a desired response is completed; a final design is obtained that can be tested in a real life well. The implications of this approach are promising to enhance efficiencies that can ultimately reduce time and cost for operators, fostering more efficient drilling practices for the industry. Introduction As the demand for energy resources continues to surge and the need for safer and more sustainable drilling operations intensifies; like in the past decade, where the Oil and Gas Industry has been using unconventional ways to extract hydrocarbons, so does the need to operate with tools and practices that can be more reliable, and adaptive to the specific challenges that this brings. Since decades ago, where the use of several number of roller cone bits to drill a section at a low rate of penetration, evolved to PDC Designs, that can drill the same interval in one run, at an increased rate of penetration. The optimization of drill bits stands as a corner stone within the oil and gas industry, deeply shaping the efficiency, productivity, and cost-effectiveness of field operations. This process and its technological advancements have consistently influenced drilling practices.
