How does a PDC drill bit work?

PDC drill bits work mainly through their unique structure and working principle yah.

The PDC drill bit is embedded with a number of man-made polycrystalline diamond composite plates, which have very high hardness and wear resistance. When the drill bit rotates and comes into contact with rocks and other materials, these diamond composite pieces will cut and break the rocks.

During the drilling process, the rotation of the bit and the pressure exerted will cause the diamond composite pieces to continuously cut into the rock, breaking the rock into small pieces and bringing them out of the wellhead with the circulation of drilling fluid.

Meanwhile, the design of the PDC drill bit also affects its working efficiency and effectiveness, such as the shape of the bit, the angle and distribution of the cutting edge, etc., which will be optimized according to different formations and drilling requirements in order to achieve better drilling performance oh.
