How to determine the size of the drill bit

 


When we want to determine the required drill bit size, we can refer to these aspects to determine:

1. The diameter of the wellbore:

Firstly, it is necessary to measure the wellbore diameter to determine the size of the drill bit that needs to be used.

2. Drilling depth:

The drilling depth is also one of the important factors in determining the size of the drill bit. If the drilling depth is shallow, a smaller size drill bit can be used, while if the drilling depth is deep, a larger size drill bit needs to be used.

3. Drilling speed:

Drilling speed is also one of the factors determining the size of the drill bit. If rapid drilling is required, a larger size drill bit is required, while if the drilling speed is slow, a smaller size drill bit can be used.

4. Type of drill bit:

Different types of drill bits are suitable for different drilling conditions. For example, scraper drills are typically used for soft rocks, while diamond drills are suitable for hard rocks. Therefore, it is necessary to select the appropriate type of drill bit based on the drilling conditions.

How to use water well drilling rig lubricant correctly

  The use of coolant for water well drilling rigs has some similarities to the use of coolant for general drilling, but also has some unique considerations due to the special working environment and requirements of water well drilling rigs. The coolant used in water well drilling rigs is often referred to as “drilling fluid” or “mud”, and its function is not only cooling, but also includes carrying rock cuttings, stabilizing the wall of the well, and balancing formation pressure. The following is a detailed explanation of how to use water well drilling rig coolant correctly: 1. Main functions of drilling fluid: Cooling and lubricating the drill bit:  Reducing the temperature of the drill bit and drill pipe, reducing wear and prolonging service life. Carrying rock cuttings:  Bringing the rock cuttings generated during the drilling process from the bottom of the well to the surface, preventing the accumulation of rock cuttings from clogging the drill bit and the bottom of t...

What are the Basic Maintenance Methods for Water Well Drilling Rigs

  Cleaning: After every day's operation, clean the mud, oil, and other debris on the rig in time to keep the rig clean. Checking lubrication: regularly check  the lubrication points to ensure that the lubricant is sufficient and the grease is clean. Fasteners check: you can check whether the bolts and nuts of each part are loose and tighten them in time. Hydraulic system checks: you can check whether the hydraulic oil level is normal, whether there is no leakage phenomenon, and whether the hydraulic oil is clean. Lubrication system maintenance: regular replacement of lubricating oil, grease, cleaning oil filter, and oil tank. Hydraulic system maintenance: regular replacement of hydraulic oil, cleaning hydraulic filter. Cooling system maintenance: clean the radiator, and check the coolant level. Transmission system maintenance: check the tightness of the transmission belt, and replace the worn transmission belt. Electrical system maintenance: check whether the line is firm...

How to adjust the slurry pump impeller clearance

  Adjust the core principle of the slurry pump impeller: adjust the clearance between the impeller and the front guard plate (or front and rear sheath) to ensure the efficiency and life of the pump. Too large a gap is low efficiency, too small a gap is easy to wear. 1. vertical slurry pump: Loosen the compression bolt of the bearing assembly. Unscrew the adjusting bolt to move the bearing assembly forward while manually rotating the shaft in the direction of pump rotation until the impeller slightly touches the front guard plate. (Rubber-lined pump) Measure the clearance between the impeller and the front and rear sheaths separately, and take half of the distance moved by the bearing assembly as the clearance value. Use the adjusting bolt to precisely adjust the clearance to the specified value (metal liner 0.5-1mm, rubber liner front and rear sheath clearance is equal). Tighten the compression bolt of the bearing assembly. 2. Center-open slurry pump: Factory has been adjusted, gen...
