- Summary
- The potential for utilizing polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutters to provide high performance bits has been recognized by the drilling industry. New bit designs suitable for geothermal drilling are being developed based on the results of single cutter laboratory tests and analytical analyses. A new bonding technique for attaching the cutters to the bit body has been developed. Bits using this new technique have been built and tested with promising results. The results of single cutter tests, the bit design philosophy, the bonding process for attaching the cutters to the bit body, and the results of laboratory and field tests of these new bit designs are described.
