Analysis of Torsional Impact Improving Working Conditions of PDC Bits in Hard Rock Formations

Article Preview

Abstract:

Life and ROP of PDC bits are improved greatly when rotational impact drill assemblies (TorkBuster) are used in hard rock formations. The transient drilling processes of PDC bits combined with and without TorkBuster are simulated based on ANSYS software when drilling in densify sandstone formations. Simulated results are compared. It’s found that the torsion angle of the drill pipe is lessened greatly when torsional impact is loaded with same bit pressure and torque as that without torsional impact. Torsional impact reduces accumulated energy stored in the drill pipe, relieves stick-slip vibration and improves working conditions of PDC bits greatly.
