Description

Drilling Bits CASING

Objectives At the end of this training session, you will be able to:  List the different type of bits  Describe the different rock failure mechanism  Describe the IADC (International Association of Drilling Contractors) bit coding and dull bit grading  Describe the effect of change in weight on bit, rpm, hole size, mud weight and solids content on bit performance

Introduction Drilling bits selection is crucial to the performance of all drilling projects. Understanding the different types of bits and their respective applications is a pre-requisite to bit selection. Not only the right bit in the right application but also running it with the right operating parameters. Well engineers must stay abreast of the latest developments to ensure optimum bit selection.

Cutter Size/Type For PDC cutter, 1 indicates >24 mm, 2 is between 14 and 24 mm, 3 is between 8 and 14 mm and 4 is smaller than 8. For diamond bits, 1 represents natural diamond, 2 is for TSP, 3 is a combination of natural diamond and TSP and 4 is for impregnated. Profile The final digit indicates the general body style and varies from 1 (flat profile) to 4 (long flanked turbine style).

Fixed cutter IADC codes are intended only to provide a means for characterizing the general physical appearance of fixed cutter drill bits. Unlike the IADC classification for roller bits, these codes do not represent an application guideline. Ref: SPE 23940 Development of a New IADC Fixed Cutter Drill Bit Classification System

IADC Bit Dull Grading Code

IADC Bit Dull Grading Code The International Association of Drilling Contractors has developed a standard methodology for describing used bits. This information is essential for detailed bit performance analysis. The methodology is composed of an 8 character code that describes bit wear and the reason why the bit was pulled.

Drilling Parameters vs Bit Performance

Bit performance  Main function: ROP and longevity  Drilling fluid is circulated through passageways in the bit to remove cuttings and apply hydraulic power to improve ROP  ROP is a function of WOB, RPM, mud properties and hydraulic efficiency

Chip Formation  Tooth load overcomes rock compressive strength, generates crater  Scraping helps to remove chips from craters.

Gauging Procedures for 3-Cone Bits Smith 3-Cone Bits are designed to have minimum gauge contact. By use of suitable gauge cutting structure design and materials, the “minimum gauge” configuration improves penetration rates whilst maintaining full size hole. Only the cutting elements (teeth or inserts) contact, while the cone shell steel is held away from the hole wall. This means that unless the gauge cutting elements are “lined up” with the gauge contact point on any gauge ring, the bit will measure slightly smaller than it actually is. This is particularly true of aggressive insert bits which have a lighter set gauge and large offset. Gauging a 3-cone bit, either sharp or dull, requires some care and should be carried out as follows: Gap

1. Only use a calibrated 3-cone gauge ring measuring the nominal bit size. 2. Turn the bit on its pin and rotate all the cones to their “maximum gauge point” so that a gauge tooth or insert lines up at this point. 3. Place the gauge ring over the bit at the maximum gauge points. 4. Pull the ring gauge tight against the gauge elements on two cones. 5. Measure any gap at the free cone. This is not the the correct value for gauge wear. 6. To calculate the actual gauge wear you must multiply the gap distance by 2/3 (‘two thirds’). For example: if measured gap is 3/16” then multiply by 2/3 giving 2/16” under-gauge. 7. Record the bit as being either in gauge or the amount under-gauge. Although IADC say to use an “I” for in gauge, we recommend using a 0 (zero) to avoid the confusion between an I and a 1. Important points to note: A 3-Cone bit can be built larger than nominal size because of the plus tolerance allowed, but a new bit can never be undergauge (due to the required cutting structure clearances).

Maximum gauge point API Sizes for New Bits Bit Size

To gauge a new bit you must use a 3-cone ring gauge that measures the nominal bit size plus API tolerance (see table). You CANNOT use a PDC ring gauge to gauge a 3-cone bit and vice versa. On those Smith 3-Cone bits that feature the ‘OD’ diamond enhanced heel row inserts (e.g. MSDGHOD), these bits are designed and built so that these inserts actively cut gauge at the maximum gauge point. Therefore, if the gauge cutting elements are worn and undergauge, then regauge the bit on the heel row inserts. The manufacturing locations of Smith 3-Cone bits are all ISO Certified (ISO 9001).

Gauging Procedures for PDC Bits Gauging a PDC bit, either sharp or dull, requires some care and should be carried out as follows: 1. Only use a calibrated PDC “No-Go” gauge ring. 2. Turn the bit on its pin. 3. Place the No-Go gauge ring over the bit - it should stop at the gauge skimmer/gauge pads 4. If the No-Go PDC gauge ring will not pass over the entire gauge area of the bit then the bit is in gauge. 5. If the No-Go gauge ring will pass then place the ring gauge at the gauge pads and pull hard to one side. 6. Measure the gap in 1/16” at the point opposite the point of contact between ring gauge and gauge pad. 7. Record the bit as being either in gauge or the amount under-gauge. Although IADC say to use an “I” for in gauge, we recommend using a 0 (zero) to avoid the confusion between an I and a 1.

PDC Bit No-Go ring gauge

Measure the gap here in 1/16” and record

Important points to note: A PDC bit can be built slightly smaller than nominal size because of the negative tolerance allowed, but a new bit should never be overgauge. To gauge a bit you must use a PDC “No-Go” ring gauge that measures the nominal bit size minus API tolerance (see table). You CANNOT use a 3-cone ring gauge to gauge a PDC bit and vice versa.

Drill Out Mode  During drill out, drift & drill bits rotate around the drift axis  The drift axis is at the geometric center of the reamer

Drilling Ahead When drilling ahead, drift & drill bits rotate around the drill axis The drill axis is defined as the center of the pilot section, and is also the center of the bit connection / shank
