Development and Application of a Cutting - Abrasive Impregnated Diamond Bit

Abstract:

Igneous rocks of Junggar Basin are hard, strong abrasive and poor drillability. ROP is low in drilling these rocks, and drilling cycle is long, which seriously affect the process of exploration and development in the Carboniferous reservoir. Considering the igneous rock formation characteristics and the drilling problems, using PDC impregnated diamond high strength, super abrasion as the main rock breaking device, a new type of cutting and grinding of diamond impregnated bit was developed. This bit has the following characteristics: Compound cutting structure with blades and cylindrical Impregnated cutters; big nozzle in the center + deep radiation water slot hydraulic structures; Natural diamond and TSP lengthened gauge design; Selection of 40/50 mesh diamond grit, mix two kinds of inserts with diamond concentration 70%.The bit has the combination of impregnated bit and PDC drill bit technical advantages, which improve the bit adaptability to the formations. Hassan3 Carboniferous igneous formations field test shows that: average ROP is 0.71m / h, single bit footage is 86.5m, which increased by about 20% and 302% respectively compared with high efficient three-roller bits. The success usage of this bit in Hassan 3 provide an effective means for high quality fast drilling in Junggar Basin igneous rock formation.
