Numerical Simulation on Cutting and Breaking of Heterogeneous Conglomerate by Special-Shaped PDC Cutter by Shi Jiangang, Li Gensheng, Liu Weiji, Wu Desheng, Zhang Nan, Deng Kaichuang

“…When the PDC bit is used to drill conglomerate formations， the frequent impact loads reduce the expected life of PDC cutter， leading to frequent bit changes and ultimately affecting drilling efficiency. Special-shaped cutter can change the impact situation on the cutter surface， so choosing an impact-resistant cutter surface is one of the effective methods to deal with such formations. …”

Cutting of Siliceous Dolomite by Special-Shaped PDC Cutter under Confining Pressure by Tian Wanqing, Liu Weiji, Qin Dehong, Liu Chenglong, Wang Haitao, Hu Hai

“…However， due to the high confining pressure environment in wellbore and the hard-to-drill characteristics of dolomite， traditional planar cutter PDC bit is prone to problems such as cutter breakage and loss when drilling in dolomite formations， making it difficult to meet the requirements of efficient drilling. To provide a new idea for the cutter layout of PDC bit that can efficiently drill dolomite formations under confining pressure， based on the independently developed rocking cutting and breaking device of true triaxial PDC cutter， taking siliceous dolomite collected in the Tarim Basin as the test object， 4 types of PDC cutters were selected to carry out indoor cutting tests under confining pressure. …”
