pdc core bits deliver higher performance and durability

Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) bits specially designed for the particularly hard-rock applications. Their enhanced stabilization characteristics means the bits address durability and ROP challenges usually experienced when hard and abrasive formations are being drilled. PDC bits provide high-performance, advanced cutting layout structure and advanced hydraulic configurations thus ensuring durability and ROP improvements.

Flushing holes are also fitted to pdc bits while others have an open center together with a set of adjustable fixed nozzles. The nozzles are vital as they provide a turbulent flow through the bits. Consequently, the cutting sections of the bits are kept clean. All types of pdc bits are designed specifically to deliver optimal performance and durability synonymous with this particular type of core bit.

Since the core bits have undergone a comprehensive development and engineering process, impact damage is significantly reduced. This greatly improves the cutter cooling and cleaning efficiencies. The high abrasion-resistance provided by the cutters fitted in pdc bits means cutter wear is drastically minimized. The performance of our pdc core bits continues to support our claims.

PDC bits comprise of a polycrystalline diamond top layer sintered to tungsten carbide substrate through a high-pressure and high temperature procedure. This combination of layers ensures high performance during drilling. The layer of polycrystalline diamond facilitates controlled wear while ensuring a sharp cutting-edge is maintained. The tungsten carbide substrate on the other hand provides a tough support for the layer of polycrystalline diamond while keeping it attached to the body of the drill bit.

Some of the bits incorporate one additional row of cutters while others have two rows. This increases durability and diamond density. The high-density arrangement improves the life of the core bit when drilling is being carried out on different types of rocks even though ROP is not sacrificed. The new and modern cutting structure incorporated in the core bits provides more cutting density and exposure. As a result, core bits sold by us are now capable of achieving high penetration rates through inter-bedded formations with no excessive damage or wear.

Application-specific pdc core bits incorporate a highly advanced Carbide Interface Geometrics (CIG) together with numerous other superior quality materials to promote durability while delivering high-performance during drilling exercises. The extended cutter life and greatly improved impact resistance is achieved by minimizing the damaging effects of residual stresses (hoop, axial, and radial). As a result, bit life is improved quite significantly.

The standard bit types as well as the customized pdc core bits are popularly used in the oil and gas industry. Our comprehensive and quality range of bits offers the best possible drilling solutions that enable you meet challenging requirements witnessed during production and exploration of oil and gas.
