Research and application of PDC bit for geothermal drilling in high temperature hard rock in Tianyang Basin
In the drilling construction of high-temperature geotherm in the Tianyang Basin,affected by the lithology and high temperature of the hard rock strata of the metamorphic rock system,the cone bit has low mechanical drilling efficiency,serious wear,and short service life,which seriously affects the drilling construction.As a result,the application of PDC bit was explored.Aimed at the lithological characteristics,the key technologies such as the selection and layout of bit body,blade,profile and composite pieces were explored and optimized in drilling practice.A PDC bit with good impact resistance and suitable for metamorphic hard rock formations is developed,which effectively improves the mechanical drilling speed and reduces the drilling cost,which provides technical support for the smooth implementation of the high-temperature geothermal drilling project in the Tianyang Basin.
