How to Pick the Right Water Well Drill Bit in 2025

Choosing the right water well drill bit is critical to completing your drilling project efficiently and economically. The wrong choice can lead to inefficient drilling, premature wear and even damage to the bit, increasing time and costs. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a water well drill bit:

1. Stratum type:
This is the most important factor in selecting a drill bit. Different formations require different types of drill bits to effectively break up rock. Common formation types and applicable drill bits are as follows:
Loose strata (such as sand, gravel, clay): suitable for the use of tooth wheel bit (milled teeth or teeth), or scraper bit.
Medium-hard strata (e.g. mudstone, sandstone): Tooth-set dental bits or PDC bits can be used.
Hard stratum (e.g. granite, limestone): It is suitable to use diamond bits or high-strength dentilized tooth-wheel bits.

2. Drilling diameter and depth:
The drilling diameter determines the size of the drill bit to be selected. It is necessary to choose the right size of drill bit according to the design diameter of the well to ensure that the drilled borehole meets the requirements. Deep well drilling needs to choose a better wear resistance, longer life of the drill bit, in order to reduce the number of bit replacement, improve drilling efficiency.

3. Rig type and power:

The type and power of the drilling rig determines the type and size of drill bits that can be used. It is necessary to choose a matching drill bit according to the performance parameters of the drilling rig to fully utilize the efficiency of the drilling rig.

There are several common types of water well drill bits:

Toothed Wheel Bit: It breaks the rock through the rotation and rolling of the teeth, and is suitable for various hardness formations, but is more commonly used in medium-hard and hard formations. Depending on the type of teeth, they are categorized into milled tooth bits (for softer formations) and set tooth bits (for harder formations).

PDC Bit (Polycrystalline Diamond Composite): Utilizing polycrystalline diamond composite as the cutting teeth, it has high drilling speed and long service life, and is suitable for medium-hard to hard strata.

Diamond Drill Bit: Using diamond as the cutting medium, with high hardness and wear resistance, suitable for extremely hard strata.

Scraper Bit: Breaks rock by scraping action, suitable for softer formations, such as clay, silt and sand.

How to extend the life of drill pipe

1. When using a new drill pipe, the drilling rig manufacturer should make sure that the wire fasteners on the front cut-off (protecting the shaft head) of the drill bit are also close to the new one. A ring-buckled rotating head can easily damage the wire fasteners of the new drill pipe, resulting in leaks, snaps, and loosening, and so on. 2. In the use of drill pipe for a drilling, should be first “grinding new buckle”, which consists of, first smeared with silk buckle oil, and then use the drill rig full torque, and then open the buckle, and then smeared with silk buckle oil and then open, and so on for three times, you can avoid the new wear and buckle. 3. As far as possible to maintain the drill pipe under the ground and on the ground in a straight line, so as to avoid part of the side of the wire buckle force and cause unwanted wear and tear, or even jump buckle, pay attention to the rig anchored to avoid the construction of the force to move is very important. 4. The buckle...

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...

Use and maintenance of drill bits

Use and maintenance of drill bits: 1. Choose a suitable drill bit: Before using a drill bit, it is necessary to select the appropriate type and specification of drill bit based on drilling conditions and needs. 2. Installing the drill bit: When installing the drill bit, it is necessary to ensure that the connection between the drill bit and the drill pipe is firm, and to correctly install the cutting teeth of the drill bit. 3. Maintain appropriate drilling speed and pressure during the drilling process: Excessive drilling speed and pressure can lead to premature wear and damage of the drill bit, while too small can affect drilling efficiency. 4. Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly check the wear of the drill bit and replace severely worn components in a timely manner. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly clean and lubricate the drill bit to extend its service life. 5. Storage and preservation: When storing and preserving drill bits, it i...
