The Drilling Bit
The drilling bit is the cutting tool whichis made up on the end of the drillstring.
The bit drills through the rock byscraping, chipping, gouging or grinding
the rock at the bottom of the hole.
Drilling fluid is circulated throughpassage ways in the bit to remove thedrilled cuttings.
There are many variations in the designof drill bits.
The bit selected for a particularapplication will depend on theformation being drilled.

The Drilling Bit
The drilling bit performance is functionof several operating parameters suchas:
The weight on bit (WOB)
Rotations per minutes (RPM)
Mud Properties Hydraulic Efficiency
Three main types of drilling bits:
Drag bits
Roller Cone Bits
Diamond Bits
Drag bits were the first used in rotarydrilling but no longer in common use.

The Drilling Bit Roller Cone Bits
Bits with steel teeth are used when:
spudding in a well,
in a soft formation,
at high rotational speeds and
where bed thickness makes insert bits not
economic.
Bits for soft formations are designed withlong, widely spaced teeth to help penetrate inthe formation and tear off larger cuttings.
The bits for medium and medium-hardformations have more closely spaced teeth.
The tungsten-carbide insert bits are used todrill very hard abrasive formations. These bitsare more expensive.

The Drilling Bit Diamond Bits
There are 3 types of diamond bits dependingon the nature of the cutting element
With natural diamond
With PDC (polycrystaline diamond compactcutters)
With TSP (with thermally stable polycrystalinediamond compact cutters).
Diamond is the hardest known mineral. Itscompressive strength is approximately80,000 bar (tungsten carbide 50,000 bar andsteel 15,000 bar).

Bit Selection
The goal of bit selection is to obtain the lowest cost per foot. The cost per foot can be calculated by
using the equation:
Where C is the overall cost per foot, $/ft; Cb is the cost of the bit, $; Cr is the cost of operating the rig
$/hr; tb is the rotating time with bit on bottom, hours; tt is the round trip time, including connection time,
hours; to is the other time, which is not rotating time or trip time, hours; and DD is the total depth as a
given total time, ft.

The Drill String
The drill string is a assemblage of hollow pipes of circular section,extending from the surface to the bottom of the hole.
It has three functions: It takes the drilling bit to the bottom of the hole, while transmitting its rotation and
its vertical load to it.
It permits the circulation of the drilling fluids to the bottom of the hole
It guides and controls the trajectory of the hole.
Starting from the top, the drill string consists of: A kelly
Drill pipes
Drill Collars
Number of accessory components (e.g. stabilisers, reamers, jars, downhole motors, .)

The Drill Pipes Classification
Drill pipes are standardised according to API standards.
They are classified on the basis of their:
length,
outside diameter,
linear weight and their steel grade.
The most common drill pipes are the following:
3.5 (13.3 lb/ft)
4.5 (16.6 lb/ft)
5.0 (19.5 lb/ft)
The grade of the steel is indicated by a letter , indicating the type of material,followed by a number which indicates the minimum yield strength.

The Tool Joints of Drill pipes
It is the enlarged and threaded ends ofdrillpipes.
These components are separate from thepipe body and welded into the pipe at themanufacturers facilities.
The tool joints provide high-strength,high-pressure threaded connections thatare sufficiently robust to survive the rigorsof drilling and numerous cycles oftightening and loosening at threads.
The tool joints are usually made of steelthat has been treated to a higher strengththan the steel of the tube body.
The tool joints can be threaded a numberof times and they should be protected.

The Drill Collars
The drill collar is defined as a heavy, tubular connector between drill pipe and a bit.
In drilling operations, the top part of the drill string is in tension while the lower part isin compression; the lengths of the two sections depends on the weight applied on thebit.
Thin-walled drill pipes cannot withstand compression. They may bend and breakunder axial compression. Therefore, the lower part of the drill string is assembled ofheavy pipes.
Drill collars were once a few feet long and weighed 400 or 500 pounds. Today becauseof the increased bit pressure and rapid rotation, collars are made up in 1000-foot
lengths and weigh 50 to 100 pounds.
The most common diameters of drill collars are: 9.5-in, 8-in and 6.5-in.

The Heavy Weight Drill Pipes
Connection of pipes of very different diameters lead to concentration of tensions andto a fatigue in the areas where cross section varies. This coincides with the location ofthreading which is a weak point.
To avoid the danger of breaks, a short stretch of heavy weight drill pipes is inserted.This allows drill pipes and drill collars to be connected without any abrupt diameter
changes.
The heavy-wall drill pipes are normally made with the same outside diameter as thedrill pipes, but with a smaller inside diameter.
In practice, they are drill pipes with thick walls, having a linear weight two or threetimes greater.

Drill String Accessory Equipment
The drill string is very often fitted with accessory items which serve to resolvetechnical problems due to the wide variety of drilling conditions.
The most common accessory items of equipment are stabilisers,reamers,jars andshock-absorbers.
Stabilisers are placed along the bottom hole assembly (BHA), in between the drillcollars, to make the string more rigid in the presence of the instability due tocombined compressive, buckling and bending stresses.
Stabilizers are fundamental for controlling the borehole trajectory both in vertical andin directional wells.

Drill String Accessory Equipment
Stabilizers consist of a body to which rib blades are applied, expanding the outsidediameter of the tool to the nominal diameter of the bit.
By changing the composition of the BHA, and in particular the positioning of thestabilizers, the mechanical behaviour of the drill string can be varied, which is useful incontrolling the directional drilling operations.

Drill String Accessory Equipment
Reamers are special stabilisers with roller cuttersinstead of blades.
Mounted on the rollers, there are usually 3 to 6 steelcutters or tungsten carbide inserts.
Reamers serve the purpose of reaming wall of thehole, taking it to the nominal diameter of the bit.
Eliminating the small variations in diameter means anelimination of any possible stepped profile that mightbe in the hole, which could make:
the application of the weight on the bit uncertainor
cause problems with running-in the casing.
Reamers are used chiefly in drilling through streaks ofhard and abrasive

Drill String Accessory Equipment
Jars are mechanical devices used downhole to deliver an impact load to anotherdownhole component, especially when that component is stuck.
There are two primary types, hydraulic and mechanical jars. While their respectivedesigns are quite different, their operation is the same.
Energy is stored in the drillstring and suddenly released by the jar when it fires.
Shock Absorbers is a device placed above the bit to reduce the axial vibrationsgenerated during drilling, which are harmful for both the bit and the drill pipes.
These devices are necessary when the vibrations are strong enough to be visible at thesurface.
In deep wells, the vibrations might not be visible at the surface. In this case othersignals are observed, such as slow penetration rate and a particular bit wear pattern.
